Barbed Wire Baseball: How One Man Brought Hope to the Japanese Internment Camps of WWII by Marissa Moss

5.0

---

Fantastic account of one man's experience of baseball in the World War II era. Author tells the story of Zeni, his experience with baseball growing up and meeting Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then, Pearl Harbor happens and Zeni's baseball life is stopped when he ends up in an internment camp. However, he does not stop his love of the game even when living behind barbed wire. This is his story of what he does to play baseball behind the wire. The author includes great notes and information in the back.
