Myths and Milestones in the History of Sport Hardcover - 2011

by S. Wagg (Editor)


From the publisher

The conventional history of sport, as conveyed by television and the sports press, has thrown up a great many apparent turning points, but knowledge of these apparently defining moments is often slight. This book offers readable, in-depth studies of a series of these watersheds in sport history and of the circumstances in which they came about.
