The first London Olympics of 1908 was a world away from modern day Olympics - everything was organised in under two years, at a fraction of the cost. Jenkins tells how the amateurism of the British and the competitiveness of the Americans meant that, far from engendering goodwill among nations, the Games caused international uproar.
