Drawing on a wealth of contemporaneous sources, including recently opened files in the German and Olympic archives, eminent historian David Clay Large offers a comprehensive exploration of the 1972 festival. He interweaves the political drama surrounding the Games with the athletic spectacle in the arena of play, itself hardly free of political controversy. Writing with flair and an eye for telling detail, Large brings to life the stories of the indelible characters who epitomized the Games, ranging from the city itself to the visionaries who brought the Games to Munich against all odds to the athletes, obscure and famous alike. With the Olympic movement in constant danger of terrorist disruption, and with the fortieth anniversary of the 1972 tragedy upon us in 2012, the Munich story is more timely than ever"--Provided by publisher. 000439444 520__ $$a"Munich 1972 tells the compelling story of the most controversial of all modern Olympiads within the turbulent context of simmering global tensions: the ongoing Cold War, political posturing between the two Germanys, seemingly endless warfare in Indochina, lingering recriminations surrounding decolonization in Africa, and, of course, the cauldron of religious and ethnic hatred known euphemistically as the "Middle East Conflict." It was, of course, this last conflict that spilled over so tragically into the Munich festival, which will forever be remembered for the murder of eleven Israeli Olympians by Palestinian terrorists: a grisly episode that ruined a much-anticipated coming-out party for newly democratic West Germany and for "new Munich" itself, the erstwhile "capital" of Hitler's Nazi movement. What began as a putatively "merry" celebration of peaceful play and beery bonhomie turned into a tragic milestone in the signature horror of our times: political and religious terror"--Provided by publisher. 000439444 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000439444 61020 $$aMunaẓẓamat Aylūl al-Aswad. 000439444 61120 $$aOlympic Games$$n(20th :$$d1972 :$$cMunich, Germany) 000439444 650_0 $$aTerrorism$$zGermany$$zMunich. 000439444 650_0 $$aAthletes$$xViolence against$$zGermany$$zMunich. 000439444 650_0 $$aIsraelis$$xViolence against$$zGermany$$zMunich. 000439444 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLarge, David Clay.$$tMunich 1972.$$dLanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, c2012$$z9780742567399$$w(DLC) 2011036165$$w(OCoLC)742512333 000439444 8520_ $$bacq 000439444 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000439444 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=450745$$zOnline Access 000439444 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://covers.rowmanlittlefield.com/L/07/425/0742567397.jpg 000439444 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:439444$$pGLOBAL_SET 000439444 980__ $$aEBOOK 000439444 980__ $$aBIB 000439444 982__ $$aEbook 000439444 983__ $$aOnline 000439444 994__ $$a92$$bISE
