Product Description

Review
"Any book by Holt or Mason is recommended reading, but one by Holt and Mason is mandatory as this book has proved ... I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, I learnt much and congratulate Holt and Mason on a fine publication." British Journal of Teaching Physical Education <!––end––>

Product Description
This book examines the complex transformation of British sport in the second half of the twentieth century. Focusing on the key role of the media as a driving force for change, it also provides a fascinating account of the wider social and cultural history of post–war British sport.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sport in Britain, 29 Dec 2004
For a keen sports historian this is an excellent; very compact yet can be quite full on. Not easy to read but excellent for quotes and quick pieces of information.
