Rickey & Robinson: The True, Untold Story of the Integration of Baseball (2014) is a book by sportswriter Roger Kahn, author of The Boys of Summer. It tells the story of Branch Rickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers executive, and Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball's color line in 1947. Drawing on his own reporting and personal acquaintance with both men, Kahn offers anecdotes and his own perspective on baseball's integration. Reviewers read it as much as a memoir as a history.
