Inside the Olympics. Dick Pound. A behind the scenes look, plotics, sandals and the glory
Inside the Olympics. Dick Pound. 2004. ISBN 0470834544. This book was very enjoyable and full of lots of insight. His thoughts on Athens are quite relevant to what is happened. The book does not quite live up to its hype however. Pound seems to careful not to really slang anyone who is at all useful to him in future IOC endeavors. For someone who has a reputation as a loose cannon, someone has muzzled him. You will enjoy it, but it’s a library book.
