Industry Reviews

"Whether in your hands, or on your bookshelf, Olympic Stadia is a handsome volume."

Robert K. Barney, excerpt from the Journal of Olympic History, Volume 28, Number 1 (2020)

"The book considers the social, political, and economic contexts of the stadia as well as their longer term legacies, with the importance of "legacy" indissolubly linked to cities that host the Games."

Paul V. Dudman, UEL Archivist
