4.0 out of 5 stars RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES - THE 1908 OLYMPICS, 5 Oct 2008
By West Australian (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Readers inspired by 'Chariots of Fire' will enjoy this well constructed story of athletes at the 1908 London Olympic Games. John Bryant's well researched story evocatively captures the birth of the modern Olympics, the major international events that were shaping the new century and the lives of the athletes who would influence sport for the next decades. Told with a cinematic structure, the story is skillfully told bringing history alive with a colourful vibrancy. This is recommended for readers with a love of sport and especially with an interest in the Olympics both past and future.
