Games of Deception: The True Story of the First U.S. Olympic Basketball Team at the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany by Andrew Maraniss

4.0

I don't even like basketball but this was a surprisingly interesting story! There's a lot to this book and I can tell the author put a lot of time and research into it. I have NO idea the history of basketball let alone that it's Olympic debut was in 1936. This was a quick audiobook while I was on a road trip and it did not disappoint. I always have more than one book ready in case one puts me to sleep, but this one kept my attention the whole time. This was one of those books that the library "recommends" by highlighting on the main page. I'm glad they did and I'm glad I picked it up.
