Beyond Glory by David Margolick
Nothing in the annals of sports has aroused more passion than the heavyweight fights in New York in 1936 and 1938 between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling -- bouts that symbolized the hopes, hatreds, and fears of a world moving toward total war. Acclaimed journalist David Margolick takes us into the careers of both men -- a black American and a Nazi German hero -- and depicts the extraordinary buildup to their legendary 1938 rematch. Vividly capturing the outpouring of emotion that the two fighters brought forth, Margolick brilliantly illuminates the cultural and social divisions that they came to represent.Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song (Harper Perennial, 2001), Beyond Glory: Joseph Louis vs. David Margolick is the author of five books, including Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song (Harper Perennial, 2001), Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. David Margolick (Harper Perennial, 2001), and Beyond Glory: Joe Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Ladies of Little Rock (Yale University Press, 2011) and Max Schmeling and a World on the Brink (Vintage, 2006). He is a Loomis School alumnus and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
