5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, insightful, and written with enthusiasm., March 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The untold stories of the World Cup soccer championships (Paperback)
"Nothing Like it Before" is unique in that it treats the business, commercial, and political aspects of the world cup with the same fan-like enthusiasm it uses to describe the players, the game, and the fans. It is a valuable book for those interested in the logistics of the event as well as its spectacle.
