Sport and Politics in Modern Britain by Kevin Jefferys
Kevin Jefferys provides the first comprehensive historical account of the greatly increased interaction between sport and politics in Britain since World War Two. Jefferys sets sport within the changing socio-political context and balances an appreciation of continuity and change from the London Olympics of 1948 to those of 2012.
