Description
A study of the sociology of sports that offers a unique insight into not only the history of the modern Olympics but also the 20th-century "religion of Olympism" which made the games possible. Guttman describes how the games changed under the forceful leadership of Avery Brundage, who was involved with the Olympic Games for 60 years and was President of the International Olympic Committee from 1952 to 1972. A hero in many countries, especially Japan and Germany, and the object of criticism and ridicule in many others, Brundage exerted an influence on the spirit of the games that remains incalculable long after his death. Includes photographs of the games and the people who figured in them.
