A Brief History of the Olympic Games by David C. YoungMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The title tells you all: this is a brief history (it's barely over 150 pages) of the Olympic Games. Brief though it is, it is a solid introduction to the ancient games: the origins, the events, and its relevance in the ancient world. The last chapter connects the ancient games to the modern revivals.
