The magnificent, inspiring story of an
AMERICAN SPORTS HERO, by Newbery Award-winning author Matt de la Pena.

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 Americaâ€™s war with Germany. This elegant and powerful picture book biography centers on this historic fight in which the American people came together to celebrate our nationâ€™s founding ideals.Â
