War in the ring : Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, and the fight between America and Hitler

Florio, John 1960- (author.). Shapiro, Ouisie, (author.).

Summary: "Recounts the politically and racially charged rivalry between African-American boxing champion Joe Louis and white German boxer Max Schmeling, which grew between their 1936 and 1938 matches. Tracing both men's careers from inception until they hung up their gloves, the authors illuminate how emblematic each was to his country while exploring the social issues of the day." --Publisher's description.
