Seller's Description:
Fine in fine jacket. First edition (stated)/ first printing. Fine (rem. mark bottom edge of text block) in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 389 pp. In the summer of 1935 Joe Louis and Jesse Owens, both born to sharecropping parents, emerged as the first black superstars of the world of sports. Their subsequent political and social impact on American was nothing short of sensational---Louis became the world heavyweight boxing champion and Owens, "the fastest man on earth" embarked on the road to the 1936 Berlin Olympics where in full view of Adolph Hitler and his imposing group of Nazi commanders, he won four gold medals. For all their succeses, however, both men became subjected to brands of discrimination not faced by others. Owens was hounded out of amateur sports by Olympic boss Avery Brundage; Louis was subjected to FBI and IRS investigations.
