The Greatest show on earth has arrived. The year 2012 sees the
Olympic Games coming to the UK for the third time in their history.
They have been seven years in the making and it will be many years
before their sporting and cultural inheritance fades.This book
celebrates Britain's achievement in winning the XXX Olympiad by
presenting a concise but thorough chronicle of the Games from
Ancient Greece to London 2012. It is often forgotten that London
previously hosted the Games in 1908 and 1948, and the progress of
the Olympic dream very much matches the turbulent annals of that
entire century.The book chronicles those years of international
sporting achievement, particularly from London 1948 to the present
day. But this account is not justabout athletic prowess. Each
Olympics has had its own particular story of rivalry, infighting,
political chicanery or financial disaster - and, on occasions,
violent tragedy. The thrills, joys and dramas of the past are all
in this concise handbook, to be used as a companion to the
spectacular sporting saga being enacted in London 2012.
