About this product
Product Information
Walters presents the complete history of two fateful weeks in August 1936 that would be a preview of the political conflict soon to engulf the world. It is an eye-opening tale of the National Socialist machine that attempted to use the games as a model of Aryan superiority and fascist efficiency.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
