Book Reviews of Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and a World on the Brink

Book Review: More than a Boxing Story
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great story about a great fighter in the 1930's BUT more than that it is a story of Nazi Germany, of race relations in the U.S. and Germany. This book is as much about History as it is about Joe Louis.
Joe Louis was loved by white Americans, black Americans, people from the North and South. This book keeps you wondering what is going to happen next.
