"An important, perhaps prophetic, book...both exciting and sad at the core...[Buford is] a superbly talented
reporter."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Brilliant...one of the most unnerving books you will ever read."

an alternate society -- that of England's soccer thugs -- in this malevolently funny, supremely chilling document
of the allure of crowd violence.
