A Terrible Splendor (Hardcover)
Marshall Jon Fisher provides a brilliant analysis of a 1937 Davis Cup tennis match between the American Don Budge and the German Gottfried von Cramm, a sports event which had social repercussions that extended far beyond the lines of the court. Budge and von Cramm were the two top-ranked players in the world, but the significance of their match had as much to do with their nationality as their athletic ability. With their nations on opposite sides of an escalating global conflict, Budge played for the honor of the United States, but von Cramm had even more at stake; having refused to join the ****** party, he knew that his status as Germany's best tennis player was likely all that was keeping him out of the prison camps. Furthering the drama was the sideline presence of Bill Tilden, one of America's all-time greatest players--who was now serving as von Cramm's coach. Fisher expertly depicts the stunning action of the five-set match, with insightful sequences depicting the heightening social tensions of the times.
