It is also the intimate and complex tale of one remarkable mans courage. Drawing on unprecedented access to the Owens family, previously unpublished interviews, and archival research, Jeremy Schaap transports us to Germany and tells the dramatic tale of Owens and his fellow athletes at the contest dubbed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 incisive reporting and rich storytelling, Schaap reveals what really happened over those tense, exhilarating weeks in a snappy and dramatic work of sports history (Publishers Weekly).A remarkable job of tackling a complex subject and bringing it to life. - John FeinsteinAdd[s] even more luster to the indelibly heroic achievements of Jesse Owens. - Ken Burns\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197104779552,"sku":"NEW0618919104","price":18.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71-UwnplWBL.jpg?v=1786960097","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/triumph-the-untold-story-of-jesse-owens-and-hitlers-olympics-0618919104","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
