Legendary athletes and stirring events are interwoven into a suspenseful narrative of sports and politics at the Rome games, where Cold War propaganda and spies, drugs and sex, money and television, civil rights and the rise of women superstars all converged to forever change the future of the Olympics. Using the meticulous research and sweeping narrative style that have become his trademark, Maraniss reveals the rich palette of character, competition, and meaning that gave Rome 1960 its impactful and unique essence.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781416534082","publication_date":"20090714","publisher":"Simon & Schuster","slug":"rome-1960","subtitle":"The Summer Olympics That Stirred the World","title":"Rome 1960"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAN053090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7518,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7431,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS036060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century America","score":0.7397,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAN053090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7518,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7431,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS036060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century America","score":0.7397,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS037000","confidence_band":"high","label":"World History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037080","confidence_band":"high","label":"21st-Century History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SPO019000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7518,"slug":"olympics-paralympics"},{"label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7431,"slug":"20th-century-history"},{"label":"20th-Century America","score":0.7397,"slug":"20th-century-america"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in Olympic history intertwined with sports and politics","Readers drawn to Cold War tensions and civil-rights history"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jeremy Schaap"],"book_id":"9780618919109","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780618919109.jpg?v=84727df0cbe710ab","score":0.7252,"title":"Triumph","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780618919109"},{"authors":["Colleen McCullough"],"book_id":"9780063019799","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063019799.jpg?v=7869b32e80b3eb1a","score":0.6907,"title":"The First Man in Rome","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063019799"},{"authors":["Daniel James Brown"],"book_id":"9780143125471","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780143125471.jpg?v=717f16fa494ce7a7","score":0.6778,"title":"The Boys in the Boat","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780143125471"},{"authors":["Jules Boykoff"],"book_id":"9781529230284","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781529230284.jpg?v=03fc2fa214bbdeef","score":0.6741,"title":"What Are the Olympics For?","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781529230284"},{"authors":["Nigel Rodgers","Hazel Dodge"],"book_id":"9780754834205","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780754834205.jpg?v=4caa6c46a378e770","score":0.6738,"title":"Ancient Rome","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780754834205"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:world history"],"label":"History","score":0.4536,"slug":"history"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books about the 1960's"],"label":"About","score":0.1333,"slug":"about"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:world history"],"label":"World","score":0.0848,"slug":"world"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:sports books"],"label":"Sports","score":0.0679,"slug":"sports"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Olympic history, Sports and politics, Civil rights.","Themes: History, Sports.","Reading lane: Olympics & Paralympics and 20th Century History."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.91,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in Olympic history intertwined with sports and politics","Readers drawn to Cold War tensions and civil-rights history"],"themes":["Olympic history","Sports and politics","Civil rights"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":175,"goodreads_ratings_count":1563,"goodreads_reviews_count":225,"quality_score":0.9365}}
