Reviews
"Dennis and Grix have provided us with the most authoritative English-language account of sport in the GDR to date, and it is to be hoped that it will appear in a paperback version so that it can reach as wide a readership as possible." - International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics
"Dennis and Grix have produced a first concise and compelling English-language summary on the vast research done on GDR sport. The book will surely prove valuable for teaching the subject" - German Historical Institute
