4 (0 ratings)
This first book by best-selling author Peter Golenbock is the inside story of the legendary Yankee teams of the   Mantle/Berra/Ford era, who appeared in an amazing 14 of 16 World Series, winning nine of them.  Each year is brought back to life through the memories and reflections of the players of those teams.  From the Casey Stengel’s shocking arrival and even more shocking five straight titles; through the mid-fifties clashes with the Dodgers and the Braves; to the arrival of Houk, not exactly beloved by all, and those last pennants and very difficult World Series.   The result of two years of research and more than 90 interviews, the work is unlikely ever to be surpassed in its thoroughness and insight, nor especially for its humor and humanity. Golenbock is one of the true masters of the oral history, and Dynasty is a genuine tour-de-force.   A must-read for all Yankee fans.
