German Imperialism and International Law; Based Upon German Authorities and the Archives of ... Book

While this is a well written book there is not nearly enough baseball in its 400 plus pages.

To wit the last 1/3 of the book are about William’s declining years and his relationship with his usurper and derelict son.

Philip Roth the great author said ‘Old Age isn’t a battle; old age is a massacre’. I just don’t see the point in dwelling on someone’s old age infirmaries especially when there are so many more worthy tales to tell. Ted Williams played in four decades of the major leagues and even hit a home run in his last at bat. He played at the highest level.

I think there was some good character assessments on Ted’s difficulty with authority and on his inability to be a good husband.
