Barney Polan's Game a Novel of the 1951 College Basketball Scandals
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
Like the 1919 Black Sox scandal in baseball, the college basketball point-shaving scandal of 1951 represented a fall from grace. This poignant novel charts the game's descent into corruption, as the different protagonists - Jewish, Catholic, and black players, the gangsters themselves, the bystanders - tell their own stories. Set against the background of the Korean War, McCarthyism, and racial tension, Barney Polan's Game is a masterful morality tale, a tragedy filled with thrilling moments of sport and stunning moments of personal failure.
