Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler's Olympics

COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTIONIn 1936, against a backdrop of swastikas flying and stormtroopers looming, an African-American son of sharecroppersset three world records and won an unprecedented four goldmedals, single-handedly crushing Hitler's myth of Aryansupremacy. The story of Jesse Owens at the 1936 OlympicGames is that of a high-profile athlete giving a performancethat transcends sports. But it is also the intimate and complextale of the courage of one remarkable man. Drawing onunprecedented access to the Owens family, previouslyunpublished interviews, and exhaustive archival research,Jeremy Schaap transports us to Nazi Germany to weave thisdramatic tale. From the start, American participation in thegames was controversial. A boycott, based on reports of Nazihostility to Jews, was afoot, but it was thwarted by thepresident of the American Olympic Committee. At the gamesthemselves, the plots and intrigues continued: Owens wasbefriended by a German rival, broad jumper Luz Long, whohelped Owens win the gold medal at his own expense. TwoJewish sprinters were, at the last moment, denied the chanceto compete for the United States out of misguided politeness tothe Nazi hosts. And a myth was born that Hitler himself hadsnubbed Owens. Like Neal Bascomb's The Perfect Mile,Triumph captures this momentous episode in sports - and -world, history in a nuanced yet page-turning narrative full ofdrama, suspense, and color.
