Pulitzer Prize-winner Maraniss tells the story of the 1960 Olympics and the broader world they reflected on the verge of fateful upheaval. Maraniss's remarkable narrative reveals how Cold War rivalries, the civil rights and women's movements, the first doping scandal, television, money, new athletic techniques, and legendary athletes came together in Rome to alter the Olympics forever.
