A Moving Olympic Review

This book is simply amazing! It chronicles the Olympic games from 1896-1992, including pictures of torches and medallions commemorating each year. Notable historic Olympians are profiled along with highlights from each year. The photography is great and the information intreaging. A must for any Olympic enthusiast and a great coffee table book!
