This review is from: Spartak Moscow: A History of the People's Team in the Workers' State (Hardcover)
I'm a soccer fan and have read numerous books about the history and sociology of soccer, but I've never gotten my hands on anything about the game in Russia. This one fits the bill. It's remarkably detailed and informative, and it uses the vehicle of the evolution of the Spartak team to tell about the game and its people around the country during post-revolutionary times. If you're interested in Russian history, this book offers a unique look at common Russians and how they could and could not use their Spartak team as a way to express defiance against their leaders. This was a well written story. Spartak Moscow gets my highest recommendation.
