Richard Erdoes, "AD 1000", which is only in part devoted to that particular
year.

In a lighter vein:

David Halberstam, "The Summer of '49"

Robert W. Creamer, "Baseball and Other Matters in 1941: A Celebration of the
Best Baseball Season Ever--In the Year America Went to War"

Kerry Keene, "1960: The Last Pure Season"

Eliot Asinof, "Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series"

Mike Lupica, "Summer of '98: When Homers Flew, Records Fell, and Baseball
Reclaimed America"

Ty Waterman (Editor), et al (classical content!), "The Year the Red Sox Won
the Series: A Chronicle of the 1918 Championship Season"

David W. Anderson & Keith Olbermann More Than Merkle: A History of the Best
and Most Exciting Baseball Season in Human History  (1908)
