The 1920 Olympic Games : Results for All Competitors in All Events, with Commentary
"True research...a 'must' read...the best"--Journal of Olympic History; "detail is impressive"--Reference Reviews. The seventh in a series on the early Olympics, this work fills a gap in the recording of early Olympics history by providing complete results for all competitors and all events (except for shooting, which has only partial information due to the obscurity of the results). In virtually all cases, a 1920 source has been used in preference to a more modern source of information, and all details have been fully researched in contemporary newspapers, journals, and magazines and checked for accuracy by experts on various sports from all over the world
