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.
