by Thomas J. Whalen

Whalen (social science, Boston U.) chronicles the final season of player-coach Bill Russell as he led the Boston Celtics to win the world championship in 1969. The author begins by addressing the racial extensions that kept the Celtics from attracting a loyal following among Boston's predominantly white sports fans and press corps. Other topics include Russell's rivalry with Wilt Chamberlain and the injuries suffered by the team during the playoffs. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
