"Well researched and engaging . . . Valuable background reading for anyone interested in sports activism." --Kirkus Reviews
“In his insightful book, Gregory Kaliss traces the revolutionary undercurrents that charged American sports during the Sixties. His collection of essays reveals how the era’s political and cultural forces transformed the sporting arena into a stage for political activism among athletes of nearly every background. Kaliss deftly investigates how The Athletic Revolution, as it was known, redefined American sports and produced a backlash in its wake.”--Johnny Smith, J.C. “Bud” Shaw Professor of Sports History, Georgia Tech
