Americas black boxing champion. Hitlers favorite athlete. And a world at war. Joe Louis was born in a sharecroppers shack in Alabama and raised in a tenement in Detroit. Max Schmeling grew up in cramped fifth-floor apartment in Hamburg, Germany. For both boys, boxing was a way out and a way up. Little did they know that someday they would face each other in a pair of battles that would capture the imagination of the world. In America, Joe was a symbol of hope, especially to blacks yearning to participate in the American dream. In Germany, Max was made to symbolize the superiority of the Aryan race. The two men climbed through the ropes with the weight of their countries on their shouldersand only one would leave victorious. The battles waged between Joe and Max still resonate today. War in the Ring is the story of these two outsized heroes, their lives, their careers, and the global conflict swirling around them.
