Jesse Owens: An American Life by William J. Baker
First edition
A thorough look at the history of sports and religion in the U.S. The title made me think it would be a bit more sociological and contemporary rather than historical. I also hoped that the book would be a bit more thematic rather than what ended up as a recitation of facts at times. Still, it was worthwhile.
