He is also a world-renowned Olympic historian and best-selling author, most notably of "The Complete Book of the Olympics, " which is considered the standard reference work on the subject.

Son of the famous novelist Irving Wallace, David developed a passion for unearthing and sharing lesser-known histories.

He changed his last name from Wallace back to his familys original name, Wallechinsky, after a customs officers remark in Britain.
