Editorial Reviews
Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor
"From the sometimes painful rituals of preparation to the crown of leaves and the victory cup, Sansone traces the vivid details of sports culture back into prehistory. . . . His style mixes speculation, history, common sense, and personal experiences . . . into a continuously provocative argument."

Allen Guttmann, Journal of Sport History
"One of the most provocative interpretations of the origins and nature of early and all sport to appear in decades."
