Hitler’s Olympics, Part 4: Outcast in Olympia

Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past&mdash;an event, a person, an idea, even a song&mdash;and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.
