Discover how Cold War sports were more than just games – they were ideological battlegrounds. Through key events like the Fischer–Spassky chess match, the 1972 Olympic basketball final, the 1978 FIFA World Cup and many others, this book explores how athletes became unwitting ambassadors in the political clash between the USA and the USSR.
