New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2021. How does a small provincial city in southern Japan become the site of a world-famous wheelchair marathon that has been attracting the best international athletes since 1981? Dennis Frost answers this question and addresses the histories of individuals, institutions, and events - the 1964 Paralympics, the FESPIC Games, the Oita International Wheelchair Marathon, the Nagano Winter Paralympics, and the 2021 Tokyo Summer Games - that played important roles in the development of disability sports in Japan.
