Great Moments in Athletics is a 1947 work by F. A. M. Webster that looks at the history and development of athletics with reference to notable sportspeople and events. Contents include: In the Beginning, Sprinters in Excelsis, The Event Sui Generis, Going Up or Down?, Middle-distance Endurance, Still Greater Distances, Great Steeplechasers, Heel-and-Toe Takes Toll, Relaying-Racing Thrills, The Hurdlers' Headlong Rush, etc. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being Athletics in Action (1931). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
