Blimey! I've just come to this thread and must suggest full marks to Mr Walters for coming here. Also I was going to say he's the author of "Berlin Games, how Hitler stole the olympic dream" which is about as solid a piece of work as you might hope to find, with no hint of nazi apologism, etc in any form as well as being leagues ahead of the similar volume by Christopher Hilton which is mistake ridden and quite awful. Having read "Berlin Games" I'd trust this author, even more so having seen him come here.
