William F. Lamb

Black Sox in the Courtroom

The Grand Jury, Criminal Trial and Civil Litigation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A comprehensive, nonpartisan account of the judicial proceedings spawned by the corruption of the 1919 World Series is badly needed. This book does it. The narrative of events has been crafted from surviving fragments of the judicial record, contemporaneous newspaper accounts of the proceedings, museum archives and, occasionally, the literature of the Black Sox scandal. "--Provided by publisher.
