Summer of Freedom

How 1945 Changed the World

by Oliver Hilmes Translated by Jefferson Chase

Praise for Berlin 1936:

“[Berlin 1936’s] publication earlier this year felt like a gift. Historian Oliver Hilmes has created an almost miniaturist narrative of the most controversial Olympics ever staged…Jefferson Chase’s excellent translation gives us taut prose that adds to the sense of unease.” —The Guardian, Best Books of the Year

“Memorable…Hilmes’s deceptively jaunty, even comic tone echoes that of the Games themselves.” —Financial Times, Best Books of the Year
