“On the basis of awesomely extensive archival research, Haddad stages a historical drama of the formation of the Palestine Olympic Committee, in 1934, on the eve of Berlin’s ‘Nazi Olympics,’ to which the POC was destined to send no team.”
– Allen Guttmann, author of “The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games”
