Journal of Olympic History 2/2009
Apart from the regular JOH (issue 2, 2009), a special issue of the Journal is published this month, on the occasion of the XIII Olympic Congress, which is currently held in Copenhagen (Denmark). The latter contains a selection of the best articles published in the Journal. In the regular journal, Bob Chappell presents a case study “Issues and problems - the 2004 Athens Olympic Games: A case study of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in East Africa, and Namibia and Botswana in Southern Africa”. Biographies of IOC members are presented in the second part of a series, while Joel Rookwood takes a look at peace promotion through sport in Bosnia and Russia.
Naturally, the recurring items are also included: book reviews, obituaries and the messages from the ISOH board.
