Today we die a little : the rise and fall of Emil Zátopek, Olympic legend / Richard Askwith

Askwith, Richard

Edited by Yellow Jersey Press - 2016

Based on extensive research in the Czech Republic and with unparalleled access to Zátopek's family and friends, particularly his widow, fellow Olympian Dana Zátopková, "Today we die a little" evokes not just an extraordinary man but a glorious age of athletics and a dramatic period in European history. It strips away the myths to tell the complex and deeply moving story of the most inspiring Olympic hero of them all.
