Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics - Paperback - 2008

The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing but human rights activists support a boycott. They liken the circumstances to previous governments that used the games to glorify their regimes - most notoriously the Nazis in 1936. What has led to this perception? This book debunks myths such as the prevalence of drugs in Chinese sport among women.
