Drawing on new archival documents and interviews, this book
demonstrates the evolving role of international politics in Olympic
security planning. Olympic security concerns changed forever
following the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972
Munich Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee's (IOC)
choice to ignore security after the attack in Munich left
individual Olympic Games Organizing Committees to organize, fund,
and provide security for the major international event. Future
Olympic hosts planned security amidst increasing numbers of
international terrorist attacks, and with the Cold War in full
swing. For some Olympic hosts, Olympic security now represented
their nation's largest ever military operations. By the time the
IOC made security more of a priority in the early 1980s, the trends
in Olympic security were set for the future.
