内容説明
From Ancient Greece to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, sport's appeal has been universal. But what is sport? Is it "war minus the shooting", satisfying a basic human need for conflict? Or is it just a business, and a cut-throat one at that? This book explores the reality of sport, historically and today, and discusses its heroes and heroines, its philosophy, its religion and its huge shareholding in big business. Through interviews, analysis and photographs, the book examines the conflicts at the heart of sport, and the new forces at work - money, television, technology, drugs and political prejudice.
