Kevin Jefferys provides the first comprehensive historical account of the greatly increased interaction between sport and politics in Britain since World War Two. Jefferys sets sport within the changing socio-political context and balances an appreciation of continuity and change from the London Olympics of 1948 to those of 2012.
