Knight provides information on some of the achievements, records, and humorous and tragic moments. Moreover, he gives information regarding politics, and problems that are facing the games today and in the future. Clear and simple writing and many black-and-white photographs help to make this book appropriate for class assignments. Overall, a good introduction. --Bruce Lee Siebers, Free Library of Philadelphia
