Sport and the pursuit of war and peace from the nineteenth century to the present : war minus the shooting? / edited by Martin Hurcombe and Philip Dine.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This volume of wide-ranging essays by sport historians and sociologists examines the complex relations of war, peace and sport through a series of case studies from South and North America, Europe, North Africa, Asia and New Zealand. Together, and through an introductory framing essay, these essays offer scholars of sport, conflict studies and cultural history more broadly a multinational analysis of the war-peace-sport nexus that has operated throughout the world since the late nineteenth century"-- Provided by publisher.
