The Sarajevo Olympics: A History of the 1984 Winter Games
Jason Vuic
The first book-length history of the 1984 Winter Olympic Games
Commendation Quotes: Few human enterprises blend light and darkness quite so much as the Olympics, where international cooperation and nationalistic fervor do battle in a five-ring circus. The 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo were a profoundly double-edged spectacle. The lively writing of Jason Vuic re-lights the torch for all of us in a colorful remembrance of the best and the worst of what the Olympics can be. Biographical Note: An independent scholar and freelance writer, Jason Vuic holds a PhD in Balkan and Eastern European history from Indiana University. His previous publications include The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History. Commendation Quotes: An impressively researched and deftly narrated tale of an unexpectedly delightful Winter Games whose legacy survives the dark, destructive days that followed. The definitive account of Sarajevo 1984.
Contributor Bio: Vuic, Jason Jason Vuic is an assistant professor of modern European history at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia. He lives in Staunton, Virginia, with his wife, Kara.
