Condition: No creases, tears or writing. No jacket as issued. I doubt the book has been read often, if at all. Clean! Andrew Handler was partly motivated to write this book by nostalgia, having been a junior member of the Hungarian Teamsters' Union soccer team as well as a tennis club that represented the National Police (and encountering considerable anti-Semitism). He was also motivated by his desire to demonstrate the extent of Jewish Hungarian participation in sport at its highest levels (Hungarian Jews had won nearly one-third of all the Olympic medals won by Jews, including 48 gold compared to 18 for the USA through 1964) as well as to write the first thorough volume on the athletic contributions of any Jewish national community. 140 pgs.
