Summary
On the eve of World War II, African-American boxer Joe Louis fought German Max Schmeling in a bout that had more at stake than just the world heavyweight title; for much of America their fight came to represent America's war with Germany. An elegant and powerful picture book biography that centers around the historic fight in which black and white America were able to put aside prejudice and come together to celebrate our nation's ideals.
