 Important Stories Well Told
By David DeWitt
One of the most necessary “sports” books you’ll ever read. The stories of the student-athletes who crossed the color line at southern universities are remarkable, in particular given that most of their experiences are only a generation or so old. The book is fantastically well-researched; unfortunately, the same can’t be said for another review on this site. The Auburn player who devoted suicide was Henry Harris, and the author explains that he did so two years after he left the school. He did not jump out of a dorm-room window. If you are going to accuse somebody of getting the facts defective on a public forum, be very sure you have at least read what they have written and may prove a factual error. If you care with regards to civil rights, history, and/or the culture of American sports, this book tells worthful and untold stories.

 Disappointing
By hbdawg
As the second black student at a major deep south university, I found Across the Line disappointing. My university did not sign a black recruit until four years after my graduation. I purchased this book to see how these new recruits dealt with a potential hostile surroundings in the locker room, on the playing floor, and on campus. I was looking forward to reading when it comes to their role in transforming their universities and the south. Instead, this book is more in regards to background. We get stories of the towns where the athletes grew up but little in regards to the athletes themselves. We get stories regarding what had happened at the universities before the athletes arrived rather than what was happening when the athletes attended. We get nearly not one thing with regards to the games themselves. I wish there were more regarding the making of sports history rather than just history itself. There are nearly no consultations with the teammates, with the opposing players and coaches. The is almost not one thing on the practices, on going to class and on campus life. For the sports fan there is still an crucial story yet to be told.
