In 1936, America was years away from war with Nazi Germany. But long before the first battle of World War II, a starter's gun fired the first shot in our battle against the Nazis.
Adolf Hitler viewed the 1936 Berlin Olympics as a chance to show the superiority of the German "race" over the rest of the world. He never expected that an American, let alone a black American, would dash his dreams.
Jesse Owens grew up during an age when segregation laws forced him to eat at separate restaurants and stay at different hotels. But Jesse never let it slow him down while setting world records and winning a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. Once in Berlin, the triumph of Jesse's will helped him run through any barrier, winning not only Olympic gold, but countless fans.

Jesse Owens: Fastest Man Alive
I can really relate to this book in so many ways. Jesse Owens was a all star in track and he won in the olympics 4 times in 1936 in the following races. 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, and the long jump along with the 110 meter hurdles. Jesse Owens as a kid his dream was to be an olympian in track and his dream slowly started coming true when he was breaking records in high school and college. He also won 3 NCAA titles in college. Jesse Owens had a lot of support to hid track career and if it wasn't for his family and friends he wouldn't have made it as far as he did. My favorite part in this whole book was when Jesse was going through segregation it made him trade much harder and it also just showed how much dedication he had for the sport he loved so so much. I would recommend this book to anyone that is in track and likes to read about certain track stars or all stars because if I were to ever meet Jesse id want so many pointers and tips for the races that I am in.
