The story of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympic Games is that of a high-profile athlete giving a performance that transcends sports. But it is also the intimate and complex tale of the courage of one remarkable man.Drawing on unprecedented access to the Owens family, previously unpublished interviews, and exhaustive archival research, Jeremy Schaap transports us to Nazi Germany to weave this dramatic tale. From the start, American participation in the games was controversial. A boycott, based on reports of Nazi hostility to Jews, was afoot, but it was thwarted by the president of the American Olympic Committee. At the games themselves the plots and intrigues continued: Owens was befriended by a German rival, broad jumper Luz Long, who helped Owens win the gold medal at his own expense. Two Jewish sprinters were, at the last moment, denied the chance to compete for the United States out of misguided politeness to the Nazi hosts. And a myth was born that Hitler himself had snubbed Owens.Like Neal Bascomb's The Perfect Mile and David Margolick's Beyond Glory, Triumph captures this momentous episode in sports, and world, history in a nuanced yet page-turning narrative full of drama, suspense, and color. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Glickman, Marty,|d1917-2001. 600 10 Owens, Jesse,|d1913-1980. 600 10 Stoller, Sam,|d1915-1983. 650 0 African American athletes|vBiography. 650 0 Jewish athletes|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 National socialism|xPhilosophy. 650 0 Olympics|xParticipation, American. 650 0 Racism|zGermany|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Track and field athletes|zUnited States|vBiography. 700 1 Kramer, Michael. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10755618?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400123674_180.jpeg
