Summary:
"In 1936, Adolf Hitler welcomed the world to
Berlin
to attend the Olympic
Games
. It promised to be not only a magnificent sporting event, but also a grand showcase for the rebuilt Germany. No effort was spared to present the Third Reich as the newest global power. But beneath the glittering surface, the
Games
of the Eleventh Olympiad of the Modern Era came to act as a crucible for the dark political forces that were gathering, foreshadowing the bloody conflict to come. The 1936 Olympics were nothing less than the most political sporting event of the last century -- an epic clash between proponents of barbarism and those of civilization, both of whom tried to use the
Games
to promote their own values.
Berlin
Games
is the complete history of those fateful two weeks in August. It is a story of the athletes and their accomplishments, an eye-opening account of the Nazi machine's brazen attempt to use the
Games
as a model of Aryan superiority and fascist efficiency, and a devastating indictment of the manipulative power
games
of politicians, diplomats, and Olympic officials that would ultimately have profound consequences for the entire world"--Page 4 of cover.
