WAR FEVER
Boston, Baseball, and America in the Shadow of the Great War
Boston 1918. The deadly Spanish flu spread. The streets emptied. The war raged on. The enemy seemed to be lurking everywhere: prowling in submarines off the coast of Cape Cod, arriving on passenger ships in the harbor. Anyone who looked or sounded German was suspect. A fever gripped the city and wouldn’t let go.  Three memorable men lived during this delirious moment in history: Karl Muck, the German conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, was accused of being an enemy spy; Charles Whittlesey, a Harvard law graduate, became an unlikely hero in Europe; and Babe Ruth, who was poised to revolutionize the game he loved and become the most famous baseball player of all time. Together, they offer a gripping narrative of Boston, America at war and American culture in upheaval.
