The Ration Book Olympics
The Ration Book Olympics
    Clare Balding looks back
    at the last time that the
    Olympic Games came to
    London in 1948. Three
    years after the end of
    the Second World War,
    Britain was still gripped
    by austerity. Rationing
    was still in force,
    severe bomb damage was
    still much in evidence
    and no new sports
    facilities could be
    built.
