Reviews

"this book provides numerous interesting facts about the poorly documented early years of Olympic history"--Booklist; "the sites, dates, events, athletes and participating countries are listed, together with all the results"--Olympic Review; "even more impressive than the volume on the 1896 Games. Mallon has performed a Herculean task...a clear format accompanied by readable and informative commentary...a must-have"--Journal of Olympic History.
