Reviews
this is a book about one of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced. More importantly, it is about a moment in time--the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany--as majestic as sports has ever produced. You think you know about Jesse Owens. You think you know the whole story about the '36 Olympics. Think again., TRIUMPH capures the glory and complexity of one of history's greatest sporting events. The reader is captivated from start to finish. Schaap is a wonderful storyteller, and, like Jesse Owens, he makes the astonishing look easy.
