Held in Germany, the 1936 Olympic Games sparked international
controversy. Should athletes and nations boycott the games to
protest the Nazi regime? More Than Just Games is the history of
Canada's involvement in the 1936 Olympics. It is the story of the
Canadian Olympic officials and promoters who were convinced that
national unity and pride demanded that Canadian athletes compete in
the Olympics without regard for politics. It is the story of those
Canadian athletes, mostly young and far more focused on sport than
politics, who were eager to make family, friends, and country proud
of their efforts on Canada's behalf. And, finally, it is the story
of those Canadians who led an unsuccessful campaign to boycott the
Olympics and deny Nazi Germany the propaganda coup of serving as an
Olympic host. Written by two noted historians of Canadian Jewish
history, Richard Menkis and Harold Troper, More than Just Games
brings to life the collision of politics, patriotism, and the
passion of sport on the eve of the Second World War.
Published in the year that the Olympics return to Athens is the
illuminating story of the making of the modern games.
My name is Roberto La Barbera, I'm a Paralympic champion. My life
changed forever on June 1, 1985, when my right leg left me on the
road connecting Alessandria with Novi Ligure, in Italy, wedged
between the metal fender and radiator of a big fat sand-colored
Alfasud. The book you're buying tells the story of my life without
frills, in hopes that reading it may give a smile to those who,
unfortunately, have lost all hope. To those who are thinking that
life will no longer be normal, after making a mistake.
Opening with the tragedy of Nomar Kumaritashvili's death in
Whistler and concluding with one final gold for the hockey-mad home
country, the fortnight of the Vancouver Olympics brought out the
range of human emotion -- from gilded joy to funereal gloom. In
this volume, Zach Bigalke utilizes both his daily dispatches from
February 2010 and the benefit of hindsight to tell the multifaceted
stories of those seventeen days...
