The Olympics have a checkered, sometimes scandalous, political
history. Jules Boykoff, a former US Olympic team member, takes
readers from the event's nineteenth-century origins, through the
Games' flirtation with Fascism, and into the contemporary era of
corporate control. Along the way he recounts vibrant alt-Olympic
movements, such as the Workers' Games and Women's Games of the
1920s and 1930s as well as athlete-activists and political
movements that stood up to challenge the Olympic machine.
