Summary: The International Century
Comment: This is the international century, so it is most appropriate that authors from 5 countries came together under the expert partnership of Kruger & Riordan who have coedited an international anthology of worker sport (of which there is a chapter here in the book) before. The book is a perfect overview which would serve a university course well. All chapters (one exception on Afro-American sport) were written exclusively for the book, and some in fields not before explored: Kruger's history of homosexuality and sport is timely and superb: If the rate of homosexuality is 10 p.c. in sport, do the two football players on the field who are gay enjoy the tossing and tumbling differently than their straight co-players? His comparison of fascism and sport in Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany and Franco's Spain shows that a lot was actually invented in Italy and later on refined by Germany. Wedemeyer puts terrorism and sport (Ireland, Palestinians etc.) into an historical context. Bill Murray (author of 2 world histories of soccer)is the best expert on the history of the international soccer organizations. Gudrun Doll-Tepper, president of the disabled organisations, gives a structural analysis of her sport.etc, etc. You name a world expert and you will find it in the book.
