4 comments about Dwight Davis : The Man and the Cup.

1. This book not only is an outstanding piece of tennis history, but also contains great U.S. history of the late 1800's and first half of the 1900's. By tracing Davis and his family through those years,
   the author gives riveting stories about the early days in burgeoning St. Louis, World War I,
   the Philippines, the Department of War in those years, even
   World War II. This book is a gem that integrates the early history of "lawn tennis," with the broader events of the day. Dwight Davis not only was a "tennis man" but a highly placed civil servant and a philanthropist. al campbell, cincinnat



2. The history of the Davis Cup is fascinating and excitingly written. However, the life of donor Dwight Davis took me completely by surprise: A terrific biography of an outstanding human being.

   Kriplen's research and delightful usage of the written word is thoroughly complete and very rewarding to the reader. I hope that more will come from this author in the future. This book will be a joy for those who love tennis and good biographies.




3. The author does a nice job of seamlessly integrating an interesting life and the cup's history. Davis exhibited many admirable American characteristics including courage, patriotism and determination. The vivid description of Malmo captured the cup's legacy wonderfully. The prose is graceful and sails along.



4. I truly enjoyed this inspirational story of one of the great tennis leaders of the 20th century

2 comments about Considerable Passions: Golf, the Masters and the Legacy of Bobby Jones.

1. This volume, written to accompany the Down the Fairway exhibit at the Atlanta History Center, is a nice coffee table book, filled with some interesting pictures and some good essays. A downside to this volume is that Dr. Lewis engages in some speculation concerning Jones' attitude toward race that does not hold up to the experience of those who actually knew him. Although this volume is nice, a better treatment of Jones' life is Sidney Matthew's outstanding - but somewhat hagiographical - volume, "Life and Times of Bobby Jones: Portrait of a Gentleman."



2. A delightful telling of Jones' life and his contributions to golf. Jones' career and his times are documented in powerful fashion. The pictures are amazing the scope and breath really are incredible. If you or your loved one love's golf this is the book for you. This one looks great on the coffee table and will have your guests wanting their own copy.
