Lozan Zafer mi, Hezimet mi? - 1 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Sebil Yayınevi

This is a reasonably good profile of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team associated with the "Miracle on Ice." It is sometimes a little overly sentimental, and overly storyline-oriented in that annoying ESPN kind of way. I kinda wish the author had mentioned that Herb Brooks was director of player development for the Penguins at the time of his death, but I concede it was outside the scope of the book. The parts about Warren Strelow, a long-time goaltending coach who recently passed away, were interesting. But I laughed at the author when he invoked George Kennan in this context. George F. Kennan, Russian scholar and Cold War expert, once said, "Heroism is endurance for one moment more." And indeed, it was ultimately the U.S. players' endurance that made them so endearing, and so heroic. ... In a profoundly pessimistic time, they brought hope. The hostages and gas lines and the rolling Russian tanks were fairly flogging the American psyche, until Phil Verchota and Mark Pavelich and Mike Ramsey and the rest of them started flogging back. And the best part was that they didn't even know they were doing it. They thought they were just trying to win hockey games. Now, in the guy's defense, I've heard many other sports writers and sports pundits work the Cold War/nationalism angle. But they don't do it in this incredibly schmaltzy way, and they don't throw in a Kennan quote to try to make themselves look SMRT.
