About the author

Andrew Maraniss studied history at Vanderbilt University and as a recipient of the Fred Russell-Grantland Rice sportswriting scholarship, earned the school's Alexander Award for excellence in journalism. He then worked for five years in Vanderbilt's athletic department as the associate director of media relations, dealing primarily with the men's basketball team. The son of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author David Maraniss and trailblazing environmentalist Linda Maraniss, Andrew was born in Madison, Wisconsin, grew up in Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas and now lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, with his wife Alison, and their two young children. His first book for adults, Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South, was a New York Times nonfiction bestseller.

Description:
New York, NY: Philomel Books , 2019 Philomel Books, New York. 2019. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light bumping to tail. DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($18.99); light bumping to tail. Blue paper over boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 217 pp 8vo. On July 15, 1936 the U.S. Olympic team set off on the SS Manhattan bound for Berlin and Hitlerism. The Olympians were sheltered from the true horrors of the Nazi reign and saw only a movie set world. This is the incredible true story of basketball from its invention by Dr. Naismith in 1891 to the sport's Olympic debut in Berlin and the eclectic mix of people, events, and propaganda on both sides of the Atlantic that made it all possible. A clean very presentable copy.
