This hardcover book tells the first story of chess as cultural warfare during the Cold War, using reliable sources never used before.
At the center is Folke Rogard, president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) from 1949 to 1970. He reshaped FIDE and helped organize international chess during an era when the communist East and capitalist West confronted each other on many fronts. The book also sheds light on Soviet chess development and US strategies and actions, while showing how the Swedish lawyer Rogard tried to mediate and remain neutral.
A failure on his side could have divided the chess world even more and slowed the organization he was building. Browse more in Uncategorised or view another related item like 72" Net And Post.
