  Detroit, mid-1930s: In a city abuzz over its
unrivaled sports success, gun-loving baseball fan Dayton Dean became ensnared in the nefarious and deadly Black Legion.
The secretive, Klan-like group was executing a wicked plan of terror, murdering enemies, flogging associates, and
contemplating armed rebellion. The Legion boasted tens of thousands of members across the Midwest, among them
politicians and prominent citizens-even, possibly, a beloved athlete.
  
  Terror in the City of Champions opens with the arrival of Mickey Cochrane, a fiery baseball star who
roused the Great Depression's hardest-hit city by leading the Tigers to the 1934 pennant. A year later he guided the
team to its first championship. Within seven months the Lions and Red Wings follow in football and hockey-all while Joe
Louis chased boxing's heavyweight crown.
  
  Amidst such glory, the
Legion's dreadful toll grew unchecked: staged "suicides," bodies dumped along roadsides, high-profile assassination
plots. Talkative Dayton Dean's involvement would deepen as heroic Mickey's Cochrane's reputation would rise. But the
ballplayer had his own demons, including a close friendship with Harry Bennett, Henry Ford's brutal union buster.
Award-winning author Tom Stanton weaves a stunning tale of history, crime, and sports. 
  
 
Richly portraying 1930s America, Terror in the City of Champions features a pageant of
colorful figures: iconic athletes, sanctimonious criminals, scheming industrial titans, a bigoted radio priest, a
love-smitten celebrity couple, J. Edgar Hoover, and two future presidents, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. It is a
rollicking true story set at the confluence of hard luck, hope, victory, and violence.

Baseball and Terror Are Intermingled in This Riveting Read June 1 2016
  By Bill Emblom - Published on
Amazon.com
  Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
  Author Tom Stanton has combined baseball with a home-grown
terrorist group in his riveting read entitled "Terror in the City of Champions." Stanton combines the 1934--1936
baseball seasons of the Detroit Tigers with the so-called patriotic, but deadly, Black Legion group. To me it appeared
some individuals were forced to join once they attended a meeting and woe unto those who neglected their regular
attendance or refused an order from those in charge.
  
  Mickey
Cochrane was at the helm of the Tigers during these years and the author brings out the personality of him as the
manager along with owner Frank Navin and later Walter Briggs. Players such as Hank Greenberg, Charley Gehringer, and
Leon "Goose" Goslin led the Tigers' attack with a pitching staff made up of Lynwood "Schoolboy" Rowe, Tommy Bridges, and
Elden Auker, and an up-and-coming boxer named Joe Louis began his climb to the heavyweight boxing title.
  
 
The author rotates the chapters back and forth between baseball and the notorious Black Legion. He does a masterful job
in relating the details of the baseball seasons and we are thankfully spared game-by-game details which can lead to
boring reading.
  
  The book takes its title from the year 1935 when the Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings all
brought championships to the city of a booming Detroit. The book also contains eight pages of photographs.
