Description:
For two weeks in August 1936, Nazi Germany achieved a propaganda coup when it staged the Olympic Games in Berlin. Hiding their anti-semitism and plans for territorial expansion, the Nazis exploited the Olympic ideal. This volume tells the story of those remarkable Games, the first to overtly use the Olympics for political purposes.
