4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful exposition of the dichotomy of English thought., Jun 4 2002

By	TroutWorld "Magna Screen Guy" (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews

I read this book while on holiday and couldn't put it down. Mr. King does a superb job of juxtaposing the lives of select members of the WWII generation and the youths who follow football throughout Europe spreading violence and nationalism in their wake. How could he do this? It's in a wonderful piece of writing that the author draws us into the little known nor understood world of soccer matches and post-game punch-ups. Initial revulsion toward the violent life of the protaganist quickly gives way to a larger empathy for his character and the world in which he moves. The reasons for his life are rested against the buttress of a generation that had gone before. The greatest generation of WWII becomes the historical "everyman", the pillar of belief in town and country that drives a wave of violent nationalism and tribalism from soccer match to soccer match and culminates in organized riot in Berlin. Mr. King tests, and finds, the limits of humanity on a street in Berlin in the final act of this fine work.
