The 1936 Olympic Games, held in Berlin, was the most political
sporting encounter of the twentieth century. It was famed for its
spirit of ferocious competition and the rise of legends such as
Jesse Owens. But it also forecast the horrors of World War Two and
served as a crucible for these dark forces. The Berlin Games
brought together athletes, politicians, socialites, diplomats,
journalists, soldiers and artists from all over the world. It was
the last time they would meet in peace. But hostilities bubbled
below the surface as Hitler determined the Games would showcase
Nazi prowess and athletes became pawns in his political game. From
the fascinating set-piece of the Games, Guy Walters stretches story
across a broad canvas, placing those crucial weeks in August in the
wider context of the 30s. With Second World War expertise and
brilliant narrative flair, Guy Walters brings a wide cast of
characters and complex political situation thrillingly alive.
