Title: Ring of Hate: Joe Louis Vs. Max Schmeling. The Fight of the Century
Description: Arcade Pub, 2006. Pp: 246. "More than the world heavyweight championship was at stake when Joe Louis fought Max Schmeling on June 22, 1938. In a world on the brink of war, the fight was perceived as a contest between nations, races, and political ideologies - the symbol of a much vaster struggle. Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels boasted that the Aryan Schmeling would crush his "inferior" black opponent. President Franklin D. Roosevelt told Louis, his guest at the White House, that "America needs muscles like yours to beat Germany." For Louis, this was also his chance to avenge the only loss in his brilliant professional career - by a knockout - to the same Max Schmeling two years earlier.". ISBN: 9781559708227. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.
