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

5.0

Excellent book -details the history of basketball and Hitler’s Germany before WWII. Notes the racial injustices of the time and details the other track stars besides Jessie Owens. Great sports details mixed with history and the author keeps the story moving -overall great for dormant readers with action and details. Not Steve Sheinkin but definitely reads like him. A great addition to HS and MS libraries for all the nonfiction sports readers!
