...tension of the tightest pennant race in years turned the game into a heartstopping, memorable parody of big-league ball. The World Series itself could scarcely generate more excitement. In a few minutes in the second inning, the Yankees looked like a pennant-winning ball club; Manager Casey Stengel was the hunch-playing "perfesser" of old. The score was tied (1-1), there was one out, and the bases were full of Yanks. Pitcher Rip Coleman, who was holding his own on the mound, was due at the plate. But Casey yanked him in favor of Pinch-Hitter Bob Cerv...

With three victories in three starts...

...form, Nine Rivers is bewildering-a cluttered collection of sharply etched battle scenes and blurry philosophizings, of scurrility and scholarship, of Kiplingesque snatches of dialogue and Sean O'Casey-style playlets, let into the text whenever some passing gallantry or casual brutality catches the author's eye. The result is hard to read, and harder still to characterize. Yet ten years afterwards, at a time when the spate of war books is slowly drying up.
