Description
2012: A Sham Odyssey is a cutting re-examination of the London Summer Olympics of 2012, exploring it and re-analysing it as a social engineering project designed to promote a very specific kind of socially democratic political philosophy by a very specific generation of socially democratic politicians. Exploring the uneasy relationship sports and politics have shared throughout the decades, as well as analysing the origins of the modern Olympic movement and how its core belief system syncs up with a lot of modern revisionist discourse, the book looks at how a small group of British politicians moulded the world's biggest sporting occasion into a political extravaganza designed to further a very dangerous brand of domestic reform.
