Death or Glory: the Dark History of the World Cup
Jon Spurling
In 1974 Zaire's football team were told that if they lost to Brazil by more than three goals the following day they would never see their families again. In this astonishing book Jon Spurling has travelled the world to scratch beneath the glossy, confetti-strewn surface of the world's biggest sporting event to uncover its dark secrets.
