Very interesting book about the history of the olympics. Thus, a definitive history of the Olympic games remains to be written. Helpful and informative. Definitely recommend.

Babe Didrickson, Billy Mills, etc are mentioned, but that's about it.

I recommend you do the same.

The five Olympic circles represent the five continents: Africa, North and South America, Asia and Australia.

The book largely leaves out more substantive thematic issues at the Games, including gender, race, drugs, and nationalism.
