Reviews
"Dichter provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of the situation, drawing heavily on primary source materials in a relatively short but fascinating read."-- CHOICE "A testament to the power of deep archival research, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games reveals that the diplomacy of international sport and the diplomacy of the Cold War were flipsides of the same coin."--Timothy Andrews Sayle, author of Enduring Alliance: A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order " Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games will appeal to a wide range of sports historians, as well as scholars and students interested in the cultural history of the Cold War, especially during that always fascinating decade, the 1960s."--Alan McDougall, author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany "[I]t is undeniable that Dichter offers a fresh perspective on a still under-researched area of NATO history. The book is clear and well-written."-- Linda Risso , The American Historical Review "Heather L. Dichter has written a stunningly good book."-- Nicholas Evan Sarantakes , Naval War College Review, "A testament to the power of deep archival research, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games reveals that the diplomacy of international sport and the diplomacy of the Cold War were flipsides of the same coin."--Timothy Andrews Sayle, author of Enduring Alliance: A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order " Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games will appeal to a wide range of sports historians, as well as scholars and students interested in the cultural history of the Cold War, especially during that always fascinating decade, the 1960s."--Alan McDougall, author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany, "Dichter provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of the situation, drawing heavily on primary source materials in a relatively short but fascinating read."-- CHOICE "A testament to the power of deep archival research, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games reveals that the diplomacy of international sport and the diplomacy of the Cold War were flipsides of the same coin."--Timothy Andrews Sayle, author of Enduring Alliance: A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order " Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games will appeal to a wide range of sports historians, as well as scholars and students interested in the cultural history of the Cold War, especially during that always fascinating decade, the 1960s."--Alan McDougall, author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany, "A testament to the power of deep archival research, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games reveals that the diplomacy of international sport and the diplomacy of the Cold War were flipsides of the same coin."--Timothy Andrews Sayle, author of Enduring Alliance: A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order"Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games will appeal to a wide range of sports historians, as well as scholars and students interested in the cultural history of the Cold War, especially during that always fascinating decade, the 1960s."--Alan McDougall, author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany, "Dichter provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of the situation, drawing heavily on primary source materials in a relatively short but fascinating read."-- CHOICE "A testament to the power of deep archival research, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games reveals that the diplomacy of international sport and the diplomacy of the Cold War were flipsides of the same coin."--Timothy Andrews Sayle, author of Enduring Alliance: A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order " Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games will appeal to a wide range of sports historians, as well as scholars and students interested in the cultural history of the Cold War, especially during that always fascinating decade, the 1960s."--Alan McDougall, author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany "[F]ew historians will be able to match Dichter's abilities as a linguist and practitioner of international history. Crafted from archives in eight countries with deftly combined storylines, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games sets a high bar for scholars of sports diplomacy."-- Joseph Eaton , Journal of Sport History

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
