Winters of Discontent
The Olympic Winter Games (OWG) are often presented as glorious achievements and pristine landscapes of sport—pure as the driven snow. Winters of Discontent: The Winter Olympics and a Half Century of Protest and Resistance challenges these myths. Playing on Shakespeare's opening line in the tragedy Richard III, the title of this new publication signals the games have another storyline.
