ABOUT THE BOOK
Blood & Gold
BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies, and Dynamism to Peace is more than a book — it’s a reckoning with history, a call to conscience, and a roadmap to healing.
Set against the haunting backdrop of the 1972 Munich Olympics, BLOOD and GOLD uncovers the hidden stories, systemic injustices, and media distortions that shaped one of the most misunderstood events in modern history. At its heart are the athletes—young men and women whose dreams were stolen, whose pain has long been overlooked, and whose voices were silenced, some forever. It doesn’t stop there.
Through the lens of these forgotten competitors, of nations divided and voices vilified, Christie Sikora invites readers to witness the real cost of political posturing, religious manipulation, and the blind pursuit of power. With unflinching honesty and rare empathy, she weaves buried truths with lived experience to reveal a world fractured—and how, piece by piece, it can be made whole again.
