Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport during World War II
Douglas Stark
Tells the story of basketball’s survival and development during World War II and how those years profoundly affected the game’s growth after the war. Weaving stories from the court into wartime and home-front culture like a finely threaded bounce pass, Wartime Basketball sheds light on important developments in the sport’s history that has been largely overlooked.
