Three kings : race, class, and the barrier-breaking rivals who launched the modern Olympic age / Todd Balf.
The first globally broadcast swim match, the one-hundred-meter at the 1924 Olympics, saw three great swimmers shatter records and invite unprecendented scrutiny about race, class, and celebrity. This book traces the careers and rivalries of these men and the epochal times they lived in.
