BOYCOTT, Stolen Dreams of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games
By Tom Caraccioli and Jerry Caraccioli
FOREWORD BY VICE PRESIDENT WALTER F. MONDALE
Published, May, 2008
With a thorough exploration of the political climate of the
time and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan, this
book describes the repercussions of Jimmy Carter’s American
boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. Despite missing
the games they had trained relentlessly to compete in, many
U.S. athletes went on to achieve remarkable successes in sports
and overcame the bitter disappointment of a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity dashed by geopolitics. The book is written by identical
twins and sports PR superstars Tom and Jerry Caraccioli. Tom
is the president of Lions Roar, LLC, a communications and public
relations firm, and a former executive for NBC and USA networks.
Jerry is a television network executive in the CBS Sports division.
They are the coauthors of Striking Silver: The Untold Story
of America's Forgotten Hockey Team.
