""Burk writes gracefully and insightfully, chronicling the life of one of baseball's most significant figures. He succeeds admirably in illuminating the evolution of Marvin Miller's intellect as well as his soul . . . and in explaining how this frail man from Brooklyn with a bum arm was able to reshape the landscape of our national pastime.""--Andrew Zimbalist, author of In the Best Interests of Baseball? Governing Our National Pastime ""The Baseball Hall of Fame is not a hall of fame without Marvin Miller. As Robert F. Burk and others have written, Miller belongs on baseball's Mount Rushmore. In Marvin Miller: Baseball Revolutionary, Burk has written a book worthy of Miller the man, the communicator, the strategist, the labor leader, and the baseball visionary. Every big league player and baseball fan should read it.""-- Brad Snyder, author of A Well-Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports ""Burk knows the business of baseball inside and out, making him the ideal person to write about Miller. His research is impeccable and his writing is straightforward. The compelling aspect of the book is the story of Miller's role in transforming Major League Baseball, and that Burk tells with confidence and focus.""--Randy Roberts, author of Joe Louis: Hard Times Man
