He was a baseball prodigy. At the age of fifteen, Gene Moore was a boy, playing like a man, in a game where men play like boys. Headed for baseball stardom with the Brooklyn Dodgers, his destiny was interrupted by Pearl Harbor. His life... and maybe our national pastime... would be forever altered. Playing with the Enemy (PWTE) is the riveting story of one depression-era youth and his brush with destiny. PWTE is a poignant look at the life of Moore?s father, Gene, a 15-year old baseball phenomenon, headed for stardom when he was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Gene?s destiny was interrupted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Playing with the Enemy will be released by Savas Beatie Publishing, LLC, September 15th. A National Book Tour, sponsored by Southwest Airlines, begins in Chicago at the Pritzker Military Library.
