Not a sports fan by essence, I picked Pitch Invasion up after reading the jacket. I have not been able to put it down since.
Extremely well researched, well written, it reads like a good fiction book. An interesting description of the second world war period, it describes the ascent of money in the sports world in a very detailed way. A business and history book at the same time, I highly recommend it.

When I picked this up I didn't know what to expect. Some books of this type can be very boring and simply a chronicle of events.
This book is well written and covers alot of history in a relatively small number of pages. The history is interesting, and made accessible by the author.
If you have any interest in history/sport/business or either company, I really would recommend this book.
