Book Synopsis The Brave Cyclist by : Amalia Hoffman
Book excerpt: Presents the story of Gino Bartali and how he rose to become a Tour de France champion and one of cycling's greatest stars. But when his country came under the grip of a brutal dictator and entered World War II, Bartali might have appeared a mere bystander to the harassment and hatred directed toward Italy's Jewish people, but secretly he accepted a role in a dangerous plan to help them. Putting his own life at risk, Bartali used his speed and endurance on a bike to deliver documents Jewish people needed to escape harm.
