Features include an index of important facts as well as detailed statistical information about the medal winners. From Athens to Atlanta, stunning action photos taken by top sports journalists capture the true spirit of the games.
Atlanta 1996 marks the centenary of the modern Olympic Games. Featuring more than 750 spectacular photographs by top sports journalists, this book brings to life every Summer and Winter Olympic Games since Athens 1896. Witness the triumphs -- Jesse Owens' four gold medal wins at the 1936 Berlin Games, Mark Spitz winning seven golds at the 1972 Munich Games -- and the disappointments -- Ben Johnson being stripped of his 100-meter gold at the 1988 Seoul Games. Entertaining and nostalgic, Chronicle of the Olympics also features a comprehensive appendix listing the competitive events and medalists since the beginning of the Games.
