The first book-length history of the 1984 Winter Olympic Games
The first Winter Games held in a communist country, the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo marked the first Olympic confrontation of Soviet and American athletes since the US boycott of the 1980 Moscow Summer Games. The Sarajevo Olympics is more than just a history of sport. Jason Vuic also retraces the history of the Olympic movement, analyses the inner workings of the IOC during the 1970s and 1980s, and places the 1984 games in the context of Cold War geopolitics.
