DESCRIPTION:
"A Pocket Guide that doesn't live up to its name" according to Martin Andrade. This book is for kids, little kids. The volume is too short to support more than a cursory amount of information on the many martial and combative arts that are Olympic events. Not to say it isn't a nice volume to carry around if you happen to attend one of these Olympic events and have no idea what's going on, but then again, why would you go to an event you know nothing about? Sure, it is a good little book to give to the kids while they are watching some Olympic event, but you can find better guides online. Save your money for something else.
Describes the combat events of the Olympic Games and previews the athletic competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
