| Summary |
"The authors have added to the information included in the (1908 Official) Report not only the first names of most of the competitors, but also more complete results for six of the sports: archery, athletics (track and field), football (soccer), gymnastics, motorboating and shooting. As with the previous volumes in this series, The 1908 Olympic Games is an invaluable, addition to any library, public or private, with a collection relating to the Olympics"--Journal of Olympic History |
