Reviews

Chris Bolsmann and Dilwyn Porter's new book provides a meticulously researched history of the Corinthians - largely an attempt to provide some balance to accounts of the club, most of which of which were previously authored by insiders and former players. They strike the right balance in emphasizing the prominent place the club take in the pantheon of English football while pointing to more nuanced factors that might play down the club's influence. The sweep of the club's history is analysed while chapters are devoted to the various tours the club undertook. All are fascinating. - The Two Unfortunates
