Editorial Reviews

Review
Of all the books I have read on football, none have given me more pleasure than 'Soccer at War'. -- Stan Cullis, Wolves and England While it will be compulsive reading for nostalgia buffs, those too young to remember gasmasks and ration books should still find the work a rewarding experience. -- David Lacey, Guardian A valuable social history as well as an invaluable work of soccer reference. -- Patrick Collins, Mail on Sunday The definitive record of football amidst the blackouts and skirmishes engineered by Adolf Hitler. -- John Richardson, Newcastle Journal Any football fan who lived through that historic period will surely derive great pleasure from this nostalgic story. -- Donald Saunders, The Daily Telegraph A buff's buff book. -- Simon Barnes, The Times
