This great book is a comprehensive preview of the 1960 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. The highlight of the 1980 Winter Games was the U.S. Hockey teams 4-3 upset victory of the Soviet Union in the semi-final round and their 4-2 victory over Finland in the Gold Medal game. In addition to the preview of the 1980 Games is the review and list of top finishers in all Winter Games dating back to 1908. This great history of the Winter Olympics is filled with hundreds of photos commemorating all the great moments and athletes of the Winter Olympics. Again, this SCARCE book is in NEAR MINT condition and it's hard to find the hardback edition of this book in such great shape. No collection of books on the Olympic Games is complete without this one.
