Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Olympic athletes, fans and the media alike, the games bring out the best sport has to offer--unity, patriotism, friendly competition and the potential for stunning upsets. Yet wherever international competition occurs, politics are never far removed. Early in the Cold War, when all U.S.-Soviet interactions were treated as potential matters of life and death, each side tried to manipulate the International Olympic Committee. Despite the IOC's efforts to keep the games apolitical, they were quickly drawn into the superpowers' global struggle for supremacy, with medal counts the ultimate prize. Based on IOC, U.S. government and contemporary media sources, this book looks at six consecutive Olympiads to show how high the stakes became once the Soviets began competing in 1952, threatening America's athletic supremacy.

Download or read book Somerset Cricketers 1946-1970 written by Stephen Hill and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third volume in a series outlining the lives of each man who has playedfirst-class cricket for Somerset. The first two books, the award-winning SomersetCricketers 1882 - 1914 and Somerset Cricketers 1919 - 1939, were widely praised ashugely informative and very readable accounts of the history of cricket in the county,with engaging detours into social history. Somerset Cricketers 1946 - 1970 continuesin the same vein and is sure to delight anyone with an interest in this fascinating club.This time the story begins in the aftermath of the Second World War, with the clubstill under the control of men who had been involved with Somerset CCC since theVictorian era and espoused what they regarded as the virtues of amateurism.Professionals were seen as a necessary evil and the winning of trophies as an irrelevance.Slowly and surely the voice of the supporters was heard as they called forchange. And yet, Somerset still managed to call on their fair share of larger-than-lifecharacters whose exploits off the pitch were at times as compelling as the flurries ofexcitement on match days. Somerset Cricketers 1946 - 1970 offers insights into thelives and times of the 113 debutants in that era and in a number of instances we readwithin the pages the frank and entertaining accounts and fond memories of thosemen themselves. As one of the players - that grizzled veteran, the late Bill Alley -once wrote: 'While other teams fretted away worrying about the destination of theChampionships, we were content to earn a reputation as the best social team in thecountry. My word, how we enjoyed ourselves!'

Download or read book Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game, 1945-2017 written by Stephen Wagg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand, it symbolises much that is outmoded: imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural, aristocratic Englishness. On the other, it endures as a global game and does so by skilful adaptation, trading partly on its mythic past and partly on its capacity to repackage itself. This ambitious new history recounts the politics of cricket around the world since the Second World War, examining key cultural and political themes, including decolonisation, racism, gender, globalisation, corruption and commercialisation. Part One looks at the transformation of cricket cultures in the ten territories of the former British Empire in the years immediately after 1945, a time when decolonisation and the search for national identity touched every cricket playing region in the world. Part Two focuses on globalisation and the game’s evolution as an international sport, analysing: social change and the Ashes; the campaigns for new cricket formats; the development of the women’s game; the new breed of coach; the limits to the game’s global expansion; and the rise of India as the world’s leading cricket power. Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game, 1945-2017 is fascinating reading for anybody interested in the contemporary history of sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters Home gives access to the last major archive of Larkin's writing to remain unpublished: the letters to members of his family. These correspondences help tell the story of how Larkin came to be the writer and the man he was: to his father Sydney, a 'conservative anarchist' and admirer of Hitler, who died relatively early in Larkin's life; to his timid depressive mother Eva, who by contrast, lived long, and whose final years were shadowed by dementia; and to his sister Kitty, the sparse surviving fragment of whose correspondence with her brother gives an enigmatic glimpse of a complex and intimate relationship- But it was the years during which he and his sister looked after their mother in particular that shaped the writer we know so well: a number of poems written over this time are for her, and the mood of pain, shadow and despondency that characterises his later verse draws its strength from his experience of the long, lonely years of her senility. One surprising element in the volume, however, is the joie de vivre shown in the large number of witty and engaging drawings of himself and Eva, as 'Young Creature' and 'Old Creature', with which he enlivens his letters throughout the three decades of her widowhood.This important edition, meticulously edited by Larkin's biographer, James Booth, is a key piece of scholarship that completes the portrait of this most cherished of English poets.
