Jackie Robinson: Breaking Baseball's Color Line

By Luca Carrera

Jackie Robinson didn't just break the color barrier-he shattered it with courage, dignity, and relentless resolve. In Jackie Robinson: Breaking Baseball's Color Line, readers are taken on a vivid, deeply researched journey through one of the most important lives in American history. From his boyhood in Pasadena to the thunderclap of his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, from the fury of racism on the field to the dignity of his post-baseball civil rights crusade, this is the complete and unflinching story of a man who changed not only a sport but an entire nation.

Written in a narrative style that is immersive, engaging, and entirely based on documented fact, this book traces Robinson's life with nuance and humanity-revealing not only the iconic athlete, but the father, husband, activist, and patriot who remained uncompromising in his belief in equality. For readers of sports history, civil rights, and American biography, this is a definitive portrait of a legend whose number is retired-but whose impact lives on in every dugout, ballot box, and boardroom.
