    Book, A.A. Knopf, 2005
  • Description

    Nothing in the annals of sports has aroused more passion than the heavyweight fights in New York in 1936 and 1938 between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling?bouts that symbolized and galvanized the hopes, hatreds, and fears of a world moving toward total war. Margolick meticulously examines all the complex ties that developed between Schmeling and the Nazis, shattering the myth that they frowned upon him before he upset Louis in 1936?he was a ten-to-one underdog?and ostracized him after losing to Louis two years later.
