Work detailsBehind the Curtain: Travels in Eastern European Football by Jonathan Wilson
This book is great for any one interested in the history of soccer. You might also like it if you just like recent history, especially the history of Eastern Europe. It is a quick and easy read. (  ) DomD | Dec 5, 2012 |  An interesting look into post Soviet eastern Europe, through the looking glass of football. This book is not really about football but about what happens (in football) globally and how that has affected (football) in the former eastern bloc. You could substitute the word 'football' with 'economy' or 'power structure' - here they are on equal terms. The story had benefited from a chart mapping out all persons, clubs and connections, because in the end all the names starts to be confusing, and you either flip through the pages in a bid to keep track OR you decide to focus on the general story rather than on which -iv or -enko did what when, to whom. Another minus for the apparently non existent proof reading - lots of typos... Aside from that this is strongly recommended read for anyone interested in either or all of the subjects mentioned here.
