Query: Hatchet Job

This book spares no opportunity to trash the man. Things that are really irrelevant - Monroe's life and treatment in Hollywood before Dimaggio, his sex life, etc. are devoted large amounts of space.Compare this book to his book on Ted Williams and you can see how Ben Cramer treats his "friends" (Williams) and those he holds in contempt. Even in the Williams book, he slams Dimaggio. At times it seems almost pathological, his fixation on tearing down the reputation of this man. I am sure that Dimaggio is far from perfect (who isn't), but this seems to go above and beyond the course of biographical inquiry into perhaps - slander or a vendetta.My recommendation is to skip the book, read Halberstam's "Summer of 49". It combines sports and personality much better and unlike Ben Cramer's book, doesn't make you feel like you need to take a shower after reading it.
