On a script by Pascal Boniface and with illustrations by Tommy, the geopolitical history of the Olympic Games explained in pictures. The 100 plates illustrate the key themes that have marked the Olympic Games since 1896.
The myth of the apolitical nature of sport and of the Olympic Games does not survive examination. Geopolitical stakes were present from the very start. They only grew as the Games established themselves as the most widely covered global event of a globalised world. And because, beyond the purely sporting competitions, strategic rivalries and oppositions have always accompanied the contests.
A gripping two-colour comic that plunges us into the geopolitics of sport and of the Olympic Games.
