Rome 1960: The Olympics that Changed the World (Nonfiction)

0 chapters — updated May 21, 2008 07:44AM

description: Nonfiction narrative framed by the 18 days of the 1960 Summer Games in Rome and how the modern world was stirring at that pivotal moment in the heat of the cold war. The first doping scandal, the first televised Olympics, the first black to carry the U.S. flag, the rise of women, the birth of black Africa, the tension between East and West Germany, whose athletes competed as one team just before the Berlin Wall, the dispute between Taiwan and China, the propaganda battle between the U.S. and Soviet Union, spies and attempts at defection - all carried out in the context of the extraordinary sporting events where Wilma Rudolph, Rafer Johnson, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), and Abebe Bikila emerged as legendary characters.
