Una misión: desenmascarar al Tercer Reich.Un escenario: la Olimpiada de Berlín en 1936.Un ingenio: el cinematógrafo.En 1933 el Ministerio de Propaganda del Tercer Reich se erigía como una pieza clave para ensalzar el nacionalsocialismo y proclamar su credo político. Sin lugar a dudas, la celebración de los Juegos Olímpicos de Berlín se presentaba como una excelente oportunidad para consolidar su hegemonía gracias al empleo del cinematógrafo.En el convulso Berlín de los años treinta, Götz Bauman huyendo del desconcierto provocado por el incendio del Reichstag, se reencontrará con su amigo Serban y el doctor Kittel. Junto a ellos, descubrirá el horror y la barbarie, pero disfrutará de la oportunidad de reconducir su destino.Con el telón de fondo de la Olimpiada de Berlín, El altar de las naciones muestra un retrato palpitante del sinsentido de los campos de reclusión, la incertidumbre del Comité Olímpico Internacional o los recelos de Scotland Yard, a través de unos personajes anónimos que tratarán de revelar las intrincadas artimañas de Adolf Hitler.Un tributo a los Juegos Olímpicos con el cine como testigo de las luces y las sombras de la condición humana.Los beneficios obtenidos por la venta de este libro se destinarán íntegramente a la Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer.
