reviewed Olympic Cities: Urban Planning, City Agendas and the World's Games, 1896 to the Present on September 27, 2015 Olympic Cities
Interesting read.
However, the book should have focused either on the politics or the athletics. The first half of the book is pure politics, and the second half is pure retelling the results. The 10 pages at the end recapping everyone's lifes after the Olympics is far too short. The aftermath is what is important for this theory.
Also, the author tends to drop in way too many editorializing comments. We get it, you think Nazis were bad. It is a pretty common belief, you don't need to insert comments about it while describing their policies.
