Best-selling author Neal Bascomb discusses his latest book, "Faster: How a Jewish Driver, an American Heiress, and a Legendary Car Beat Hitler's Best." The book explores the enormous interest surrounding car racing in Europe in the 1930's - Hitler's interest in having Germany become the dominant force in car racing - and how his wishes were thwarted in a dramatic race in 1938. The story, now largely forgotten, bears some resemblance to the better-known story of track star Jesse Owens and his triumph at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
