Forever Blue: The True Story of Walter O'Malley, Baseball's Most Controversial Owner, and the Dodgers of Brooklyn and Los Angeles
Michael D'Antonio - 2009 Riverhead Hardcover

This book is very well written and pretty interesting but the story itself is not very dynamic or exciting.  It better serves as a historical account than as a "baseball" book.

As the title says, the book is really about Walter O'Malley and the circumstances and decisions that led him to bring one of New York's historic franchises to California.  Mention of the players, team, managers, or seasons happen in passing and generally to fill in the story of O'Malley.

Although some may argue about the validity of this statement, the book is more about Walter O'Malley than about the Dodgers.
