At the 1936 Olympics, against a backdrop of swastikas and
goose-stepping storm troopers, an African-American son of
sharecroppers won a staggering four gold medals and single-handedly
demonstrated that Hitler’s myth of Aryan supremacy was a lie. The
story of Jesse Owens at the Berlin games is that of an athletic
performance that transcends sports. It is also the intimate and
complex tale of one remarkable man’s courage. Drawing on
unprecedented access to the Owens family, previously unpublished
interviews, and exhaustive archival research, Jeremy Schaap
transports us to Germany and tells the dramatic tale of Owens and
his fellow athletes at the contest dubbed the Nazi Olympics. With
his incisive reporting and rich storytelling, Schaap reveals what
really happened over those tense, exhilarating weeks in a nuanced
and riveting work of sports history.
