| Abstract |
"Jesse Owens smashed records throughout his track and field career. In 1936, he made history at the Olympic Summer Games in Berlin, Germany. Adolf Hitler attempted to make the competition a showcase of Nazi superiority. He didn't plan for Owens, who won four gold medals, combating Hitler's message. Along the way, Owens broke or equaled nine Olympic records and set three world records. In graphic nonfiction style, this biography takes readers from Owens's early life to his athletic triumphs." -- Back cover. |
