Reviews
“Arguably we are at a tipping point in the history of the Olympics and Contesting the Olympics in American Cities makes a major contribution to debates about the future of the Games and other sports mega-events. Written by renowned experts in the field of the urban politics of mega-events, this will become a standard reference point for students, teachers, researchers and anyone interested in the recent past and future development of the Olympics.”
