X-WR-CALDESC:True Story Book Club\n\nThe Other Olympians: Fascism\, Queerne
 ss\, and the Making of Modern Sports by Michael Waters (368 p.)\n\nIn Dece
 mber 1935\, Zdeněk Koubek\, one of the most famous sprinters in European w
 omen’s sports\, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time\
 , the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston\, also assigned female 
 at birth\, announced that he\, too\, was a man. Periodicals and radio prog
 rams across the world carried the news\; both became global celebrities. A
  few decades later\, they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their
  transitions\, what could have been a push toward equality became instead\
 , through a confluence of bureaucracy\, war\, and sheer happenstance\, the
  exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans\, intersex\, 
 and gender nonconforming athletes.\n\nIn The Other Olympians\, Michael Wat
 ers uncovers\, for the first time\, the gripping true stories of Koubek\, 
 Weston\, and other pioneering trans and intersex athletes from their era. 
 With dogged research and cinematic flair\, Waters also tracks how Internat
 ional Olympic Committee members ignored Nazi Germany’s atrocities in order
  to pull off the Berlin Games\, a partnership that ultimately influenced t
 he IOC’s nearly century-long obsession with surveilling and cataloging gen
 der.\n\nImmersive and revelatory\, The Other Olympians is a groundbreaking
 \, hidden-in-the-archives marvel\, an inspiring call for equality\, and an
  essential contribution toward understanding the contemporary culture wars
  over gender in sports.
