Books from the Backlog, hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books, is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your shelf unread.
Why did I add The Nazi Olympics to my TBR?
I have been interested in The Holocaust, Nazis, and WWII for as long as I can remember. I've read anything I could get my hands on, from elementary school, on. This is one aspect of Hitler and the Nazis before the war that I know almost nothing about.
Have you read this book, or is it on your TBR? If you've read it, would you recommend it to others?
Ooh yes, that is such an interesting part of the Nazi tale! I read about it in The Boys in the Boat, about an American rowing team that competed in the 1936 Olympics. https://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-boys-in-boat.html
ReplyDeleteI keep adding the book to my TBR and removing it, I can't decide if I want to read it or not! I will probably add it now, as I've read your review.
Deletei've seen a movie about this, but not read the book. hope you enjoy it

I didn't know there was a movie, I will have to see if I can find it, thanks!
DeleteI've seen that movie too. The book would be intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen it, I will try to find it! (Do you have a blog? There is no link in your profile and I just wanted to know if you have a blog I could be reading!)
DeleteThis is something that I know nothing about. I have read a lot of books set during WWII but nothing like this. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think so...if I ever get to it!! I know my library has it, it is just a matter of making time.
DeleteI've watched a lot of stuff on TV about this subject over the years. Fascinating topic!
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I read a book about Jesse Owens and the Nazi Olympics, but it focused far more on him and his life; the actual Olympics was not covered in-depth, but I also didn't expect it to be. I have seen a few shows as well, so many good resources.
