Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Joe Louis was the most dangerous man on the planet.For twelve years he held the heavyweight championship of the world. He knocked out Max Schmeling and made America feel, for one electric moment, that victory was possible. He smiled when he didn't feel like smiling. He won when everything was stacked against him.Then the United States government came calling for him. And the story got even more interesting.The Brown Bomber is the electrifying tall tale of what might have happened when America needed more from Joe Louis than any champion should be asked to give - a secret mission, a monstrous enemy, and a fight that would never make the history books. It is a book that moves like a heavyweight combination - fast, surprising, and impossible to put down.From the cotton fields of Alabama to the gyms of Detroit. From the bright lights of Hollywood to the historic fights at Yankee Stadium. From the Situation Room in the White House to the dark waters of New York Harbor, where the fate of the free world comes down to one man, one fist, and one impossible moment.He was faster than any man alive. Stronger than anything nature intended. And the Nazis knew it.Part historical fiction, part superhero origin story. The adventure Joe Louis deserved, and the one America needed.The real Joe Louis was extraordinary enough. The legend gets even better.RunTime #2 - Books that read like movies.
