With a thorough exploration of the political climate of the time and the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, this book describes the repercussions of Jimmy Carter's American boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. Despite missing the games they had trained relentlessly to compete in, many U.S. athletes went on to achieve remarkable successes in sports and overcame the bitter disappointment of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity dashed by geopolitics.

Boycott
I knew very little about the 1980 Olympic boycott prior to reading this book. The book was informative and kept things interesting by switching back and forth between the history of USSR's relationship with Afghanistan and bios of the U.S. Olympians who weren't able to compete. Was it the most interesting story ever told? Hardly. But it was a story worth telling, and the often forgotten 1980 Olympians needed their story told.
