| The Opening Ceremonies of the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome... who knew what controversy had been stirring, and what was still to come? |
I first bought Rome 1960: The Summer Olympics That Stirred the World, by David Maraniss, when it first came out. I was so interested in the topic that I paid full price for the hardcover (rare for me). It did not disappoint. If you are interested in Rome, or the Olympic movement, or both, I can highly recommend this book.
You can read a Q & A with David Maraniss, the book's author, on his website.
For a sampler, you can look inside the book or listed
