Dickson's Veeck book is thoroughly researched--and includes details from his youth to old age. From growing up almost as part of the Cubs organization (I believe his dad was a senior executive) to his time in the Marines; from his early days as a promoter with the minor league Milwaukee franchise to his different major league ownership efforts.
I had read Veeck as in Wreck years ago. I think Dickson's effort is the best biography of Veeck out there.
