Drawing on a wealth of contemporaneous sources, including recently opened files in the German and Olympic archives, eminent historian David Clay Large offers a comprehensive exploration of the 1972 festival. He interweaves the political drama surrounding the Games with the athletic spectacle in the arena of play, itself hardly free of political controversy. Writing with flair and an eye for telling detail, Large brings to life the stories of the indelible characters who epitomized the Games, ranging from the city itself to the visionaries who brought the Games to Munich against all odds to the athletes, obscure and famous alike. With the Olympic movement in constant danger of terrorist disruption, and with the fortieth anniversary of the 1972 tragedy upon us in 2012, the Munich story is more timely than ever"--Provided by publisher.TerrorismGermanyMunichAthletesViolence againstGermanyMunichIsraelisViolence againstGermanyMunichTerrorismAthletesViolence againstIsraelisViolence against364.152/30943364Large David Clay593461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779196003321Munich 19723792785UNINA01919nam 2200577 450 991078915090332120200520144314.01-61147-852-91-61147-557-0(CKB)3710000000082433(CaPaEBR)ebrary10823569(SSID)ssj0001082727(PQKBManifestationID)12486377(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001082727(PQKBWorkID)11098299(PQKB)10363042(MiAaPQ)EBC1583588(Au-PeEL)EBL1583588(CaPaEBR)ebr10823569(CaONFJC)MIL562776(OCoLC)869092969(EXLCZ)99371000000008243320140116d2014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrComics as history, comics as literature roles of the comic book in scholarship, society, and entertainment /edited by Annessa Ann BabicLanham, Maryland :Fairleigh Dickinson University Press,2014.©20141 online resource (274 p.)
