		Image:Cg-flag.gif Image:Commonwealth Games years participants.PNG The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations.
		Unlike other regional games of this type (i.e., Pan-American Games, Asian Games, All-Africa Games) which usually attract second-tier athletes, the Commonwealth Games attracts the top athletes of member nations of the Commonwealth, thus making this competition world-class in the true sense of the word (second only to the Olympic Games).

		Covering one games per chapter Dheensaw covers the setting, such as the background and current climate of the Commonwealth at the time, and events themselves.

		This is a friendly book, written in a friendly way, about the "Friendly Games." You'll feel good reading some of the fascinating accounts of events, but Dheensaw does not shy away from some of the troubles of the games, most notably the issue of South African apartheid that plagued the games for so long.

		As the first comprehensive history of "The Friendly Games" (as the Commonwealth Games are often known), Dheensaw's book fills a long-standing gap.
		Dheensaw doesn't try to overlook the reality of doping and drug scandals; in fact, because his interest is in the human interest side of sport, he sees the flaws as well as the strengths of the competitors he profiles.
		The Commonwealth Games is his most ambitious project to date, and, to compile background material, he undertook two research trips, conducted hundreds of interviews, and drew upon his own academic interest in the history of the British Empire.
