From the New York Times bestselling author of Clemente and When Pride Still Mattered, and publishing in time for the 2008 Olympics, here is the blockbuster story of the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, 17 days that helped define the modern world. Legendary athletes and stirring events are interwoven into a suspenseful narrative of sports and politics at the Rome games, where Cold War propaganda and spies, drugs and sex, money and television, civil rights and the rise of women superstars all converged to forever change the essence of the Olympics.
