These four crucial years offer a unique vision of Robinson as a player, a father and husband, and a civil rights hero-a new window on a complex man, tied to the 50th anniversary of his passing and the 75th anniversary of his professional baseball debut. Kennedy brings each of these years to life in vivid prose and through interviews with fans and players who witnessed his impact, as well as with Robinson's surviving family. Through it all, Robinson remained true to the effort and the mission, true to his convictions and contradictions. True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson by Kostya Kennedy is an unconventional biography, focusing on four transformative years in Robinson's life: 1946, his first year playing in the essentially all-white minor leagues for the Montreal Royals 1949, when he won the MVP Award as a Brooklyn Dodger 1956, his final season in major league baseball, when he played valiantly despite his increasing health struggles and 1972, the year of his untimely death. Robinson opened the door for Black Americans to participate in other sports, and was a national figure who spoke and wrote eloquently about inequality. Now, a half-century since Robinson’s death, letters come to his widow, Rachel, by the score. Jackie Robinson remains baseball’s singular figure, the person who most profoundly extended the reach of the game.
