A Great Read: Frank Deford’s Bliss, Remembered

Frank Deford, one of America’s great writers, gave a terrific presentation at the World Youth Peace Summit. Following the Summit, I had the pleasure of reading Frank’s novel Bliss, Remembered. It is a wonderful story based around the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I highly recommend it.

For those who decide to read the book, I also recommend a fine op-ed that appeared in the New York Times by David Clay Large entitled The Games the Nazis Played.
