Description

Explore the deep connection between global politics and international sports with A Political History Of The Olympic Games by Routledge. This book challenges the common idea that the Olympics are purely about athletic competition. Instead, it examines how the modern games were built with political goals from the very beginning and continue to be shaped by global tensions. Author David B. Kanin provides a unique look at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the U.S. boycott efforts. Drawing on his professional background and access to specific information, Kanin explains how the turmoil of the 1980 games was part of a much larger pattern in modern sport. This text is an essential read for anyone interested in how major sporting events serve as stages for international diplomacy and political struggle.
