Maxence Leconte’s edited volume Sport in Paris: Retracing the Culture of Play and Games in the City of Light (1854–2024) (Peter Lang) revisits the development of recreational and professional sporting activities in the French capital, the first comprehensive piece of scholarship exclusively dedicated to the relationship between sport, history, and culture in the City of Light. Our reviewer Kristian Gerner quite likes the colloquial and rather redundant style of writing which provides readability without excluding distinct conclusions and good summaries.

Sports Law, Policy & Diplomacy Journal is dedicated to publishing articles that contribute to theoretical, methodological, and empirical knowledge in the complex field of law, public policy, and diplomacy in the sports system, as well as in other areas of social science focused on sports.

Sport in History is a history journal that publishes original, archivally-based research on the history of sport, leisure and recreation. The journal encourages the study of sport to illuminate broader historical issues and debates. Includes an extensive reviews section, an annual compendium of sports-related accessions to British archives and a 'Sport in Public History' section dealing with issues of sports-related heritage and memory in society.

Professor Kristian Gerner offers a thorough review of Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff’s book The Making of Les Bleus: Sport in France, 1958–2010, in which he finds much good historic research, but a sad ending to the French national and international sporting efforts.
