The 1936 Olympic Games were conceived as a propaganda tool for Nazism. In these circumstances, Luz Long, one of Germany's most prominent athletes, and the American Jesse Owens faced each other in the long jump event. When the American failed his first two jumps, the German approached him to offer advice, allowing Owens to achieve the Olympic record. At the end of the race, the two embraced in front of the crowd, marking a historic encounter. This book chronicles the lives of two very different men and tells the story of a friendship capable of breaking down the barriers of hatred.
