This is a well researched nonfiction book about a very famous boxing match. While this book is mostly about the match between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, it also explains why this was so much more than a fight for the world heavyweight title. I learned why Joe Louis and his successes were so important to black people in this country and ultimately why the Louis-Schmeling match was so important to Americans of all races. The book includes pictures and an extensive bibliography. This is middle grade nonfiction at its finest.
