This continuation of Mallon's series, like previous volumes, fills a gap in the recording of early Olympics history by providing complete results (except for shooting, which has only partial information because of the obscurity of the results). In virtually all cases, a 1920 source has been used in preference to a more modern source, and all details have been fully researched in contemporary newspapers, journals, and magazines and checked for accuracy by experts from all over the world.

The appendices include a schedule of events and festivities for the 1920 Olympics, information on World War I and Olympians, a tentative schedule of events that had been planned for the 1916 Olympic Games (which never took place because of the war), and information on the 1919 Inter-Allied Games.
