Nazi Games - The Olympics of 1936 (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

The torch relay that staple of Olympic pageantry first opened the
summer games in 1936 in Berlin. Proposed by the Nazi Propaganda
Ministry, the relay was to carry the symbolism of a new Germany
across its route through southeastern and central Europe. Soon
after the Wehrmacht would march in jackboots over the same terrain.
The Olympic festival was a crucial part of the Nazi regime's
mobilization of power. Nazi Games offers a superb blend of history
and sport. The narrative includes a stirring account of the
international effort to boycott the games, derailed finally by the
American Olympic Committee and the determination of its head, Avery
Brundage, to participate. Nazi Games also recounts the dazzling
athletic feats of these Olympics, including Jesse Owens's four
gold-medal performances and the marathon victory of Korean runner
Kitei Son, the Rising Sun of imperial Japan on his bib."
