Reviews
"[A] clear-eyed account of the scandalous end to the 1972 Olympic men's basketball final. . . . Sweet's excellent reporting sheds light on a controversial, nearly forgotten Olympic decision."-- Publishers Weekly, "David Sweet takes readers on the twisted story of the 1972 Olympic basketball final against the Soviet Union. His book captures the spirit of the most controversial game in Olympic history--decided not on the court but by Cold War and international basketball politics."--Tom McMillen, U.S. player on the 1972 team and former U.S. congressman, "Sweet does a stellar job of pulling emotional strings and revealing how 'encountering the evil of terrorism and suffering an excruciating, unjust' loss in only a four-day span continues to affect the players."--Lauren O'Brien, Shelf Awareness, "Meticulously researched and engagingly written, David Sweet's book brings new and enlightening perspective to the tragic 1972 Munich Olympics. For USA basketball, the loss to the Soviet Union remains the single most painful game in Olympic history. Three Seconds in Munich captures all the madness and frustration and brings a turbulent period thrillingly back to life."--E. M. Swift, former writer for Sports Illustrated and author with Katarina Witt of Only with Passion, "To a reader of Three Seconds in Munich , it is the rigorous research that Sweet conducted on these young players--most now grandfathers--that is most moving."--Judy Carmack Bross, Classic Chicago Magazine, "Sportswriter Sweet ( Lamar Hunt: The Gentle Giant Who Revolutionized Professional Sports ) presents this clear-eyed account of the scandalous end to the 1972 Olympic men's basketball final. . . . Sweet's excellent reporting sheds light on a controversial, nearly forgotten Olympic decision."-- Publishers Weekly, "The 1972 Olympics will never be forgotten for many reasons. David Sweet's thorough presentation has brought the U.S.-Soviet Union game back to life. It's still painful to read but remains an important part of Olympic history."--Pat Williams, Orlando Magic founder and senior vice president and author of Character Carved in Stone, "Through interviews with many of the American players and others, the author relates the horror of terrorism, the pain of losing the most controversial championship game in sports history to a hated rival, and the consequences of the players' decision to shun their Olympic medals to this day."-- Greenfield Reporter
