The Spirit of the Game by Mihir Bose
Since the age of Thomas Arnold, Sport has been used to glorify dictatorships and was at the heart of cold war diplomacy. This title tells the story of how Sport has lost its original spirit and how it has emerged in the 20th century to become the most powerful political tool in the world.
