Jesse Owens: An American Life - Sport and Society
William J. Baker
Born the tenth child of a poor Southern sharecropper, Jesse Owens would nevertheless go on to win an unprecedented four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. This biography of Owens details the successes and failures of this complex and troubled but ultimately indomitable figure who transcended his own athleticism and became an American icon.
