Summary: Schmeling: A Real Hero
Review: If you like a story with a happy ending, get a hold of Max Schmeling's autobiography. Even if you don't like boxing, I guarantee you will enjoy this book. Max is probably the last man alive who has met Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolph Hitler, Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. This is his inspiring story. Misunderstood as a Nazi, a sympathizer and Hitler's sock puppet, Schmeling was none of the above and a true philantrophist. And if you aren't convinced, there are some awesome photos in this book.

Rating:
Summary: Quite entertaining
Review: This is a well-written, lively memoir by an intelligent man who fought between the Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis eras. It's full of interesting stories and encounters with famous people. Schmeling's discussions with Hitler are especially interesting.
