About This Document: Beginning with his historicaUy significant accomptishments at the 1936 Olympics in Germany - "Hitler's Olympics" - this accessible (U somewhat superficial) biography provides basic information on the early Ufe, career, and legacy of the great African American track-and-field star Owens. Written by professional sportswriters, peppered with weU-chosen quotations, and ulustrated with photos at every page-turn, this series will interest die-hard baseball fans and is likely to engage reluctant readers. AdmUable attention is paid to the societal and political constraints facing the men and women, in addition to theU own social activism (e.g., King's fight for women's and gay rights, Ashe's work against apartheid in South Africa). The layouts are busy, but the books succeed at entertaining and instructing fans through engaging text and quiz challenges ("Round each player's number of games to the nearest hundred"); answers are appended.
