| Summary Note | Summary: Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, changing the great American sport forever and inspiring future generations to emulate his courage, his commitment and his decency. No other book about Jackie Robinson presents him as fully and truthfully as How to Be Like Jackie Robinson and none is as uplifting. Drawing on more than 1,100 interviews with Jackie's family and friends, his teammates and opponents, and the people whose lives he touched and shaped, author Williams shows how Jackie's life and the values he embodied serve as models for us all.--From publisher description.
