Abstract

Abstract: As an important historical event affecting the human process in the second half of the 20th century, the Cold War had a profound impact on the development of international sports. As the international influence of the Olympic Games increased, both the United States and the Soviet Union regarded the Olympic Games as a stage to promote the superiority of their respective social systems. Toby C. Rider reveals in his"Cold War Games: Propaganda, the Olympics, and US Foreign Policy"(hereafter"Cold War Games") that the U.S. government and private institutions used the Olympics to launch tit-for-tat propaganda against the Soviet Union in order to fulfill their Cold War responsibilities. The book has achieved academic breakthroughs in terms of research materials, research perspectives, and research content, and has become a model for interdisciplinary research in sports and history. An in-depth analysis of this workcan provide reference for future research on topics related to the Cold War and sports.
