Foiled! Hitler's Jewish Olympian The Helene Mayer Story

Arguably history's most famous woman fencer, named as one of the top 100 athletes of the century by Sports Illustrated, Helene Mayer won the gold for Germany in the 1928 Berlin Olympics. Eight years later, with America poised to boycott the 1936 Berlin Olympics over anti-Semitism, the Nazis brought Mayer home from self-imposed exile in California to be the token Jew on their team. This marvelous book is the story of a beautiful and talented young woman who tries to win back her citizenship by fencing for the Third Reich. Foiled tells the thought-provoking saga of the 20th century's most dramatic sports controversy.Moguloff, Millie is the author of 'Foiled!
