Baseball Confidential: Secret History Of The War Among Chandler, Durocher, MacPhail And Rickey is a non-fiction book written by Arthur Mann. The book delves into the behind-the-scenes history of baseball during the 1940s and 1950s, specifically the power struggle between four influential figures in the game: Commissioner Happy Chandler, managers Leo Durocher and Branch Rickey, and executive Larry MacPhail. Mann's book uncovers the secrets and scandals that occurred during this time period, including the controversial firing of Durocher from the Brooklyn Dodgers, the integration of African American players into the major leagues, and the creation of the minor league system. The author uses interviews, letters, and other primary sources to paint a vivid picture of the personalities and motivations of these baseball legends. Baseball Confidential offers a unique perspective on the history of the game and the men who shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
