Sinopse

"Polo Champions" offers a comprehensive exploration of polo's fascinating journey from ancient Persian military training grounds to today's elite equestrian sport. The book masterfully weaves together historical narrative, technical instruction, and player profiles to create a complete picture of this complex sport that demands the unique combination of horsemanship, tactical thinking, and team coordination.Through meticulous research drawing from private archives, sporting records, and firsthand accounts, the book illuminates how polo adapted across cultures while maintaining its core principles. Readers discover how British cavalry officers transformed a Central Asian military exercise into an organized Western sport, and how countries like Argentina and the United States later revolutionized playing styles.The technical sections provide detailed insights into crucial elements like stick work, riding techniques, and the vital role of polo ponies, supported by slow-motion photography and tactical diagrams. The book progresses logically through three main sections: historical development, technical analysis, and player profiles, making it valuable for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts.It examines major tournaments, significant players, and the sport's evolution across polo-playing nations, while addressing contemporary challenges such as accessibility and sustainability. This analytical yet accessible approach makes it an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the intricate world of competitive polo and its rich historical legacy.

    You Can't Get Much Closer Than...

    After the Citadel and Officer Candidate School, Andrew Z. Adkins Jr. was sent to the 80th Infantry Division, then training in the California-Arizona desert. There, he was assigned as an 81mm mortar section leader in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry Regiment. 
     
     
     
    Lieutenant Adkins and his fellow soldiers took part in light hedgerow fighting that served to shake the division down and familiarize the troops and their officers with combat. While scouting for mortar positions in the woods, Adkins met a group of Germans and shot one of them dead with his carbine. This baptism in blood settled the question faced by every novice combatant: He was cool under fire, capable of killing when facing the enemy. 
     
     
     
    Adkins acted with skill and courage, placing himself at the forefront of the action whenever he could. His extremely aggressive delivery of critical supplies to a cut-off unit in an embattled French town earned him a Bronze Star, the first in his battalion. 
     
     
     
    Before his death, Andy Adkins was able to face his memory of war as bravely as he faced war itself. In 1944-45, he did his duty to his men and country—and here, he serves new generations of military and civilian listeners.
