This is a very factual and historical book. It goes beyond the perameters of a general sports book, and investigates the deep-lying racial tension and effects of the day. Henry Aaron was always judged based upon his race, and less based on his unparalleled abilities. It is a very interesting narrative of a greatly misunderstood man.

This is a very interesting book. Even though Jackie Robinson was the one who integrated the big leagues, Henry Aaron was one of the first great black baseball players. Even though he could play in the majors, he did not enjoy the same treatment as white players. He struggled with segregation throughout his youth, and throught out his career. It is a very interesting perspective on a volatile time period in America.
