This was an unexpectedly fantastic book that I flew through. I picked up a used copy at the local library booksale for $1 and it sat on my shelf for two years. Go figure! It still amazes me that the author is a man, because he writes such a rich female character with a particularly female profession. And I really appreciated his devotion to historical accuracy. Just a great read.
Jeremy Schaap is the first author to basically say that Hitler lost World War II at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. For Jesse Owens to win four gold medals over his German Rivals, it had to put a crack in the foundation of the axis powers. While Europe was hearing the Nazi Propaganda that the Aryan was the dominant race, Owens demonstrated that that conclusion was premature. This book helped me see why Owens never entered another Olympics. Appropriately named Triumph, this books demonstrates the depth of human ability.
