A well-researched and well-written book on the country, its history, politics, nationalism and, ultimately, on football. * European History Quarterly * An exciting read ... The depth and quality of the scholarship shine through, making this book an important contribution and, hopefully, part of an ongoing dialogue with scholars based in different regional academic traditions. * Journal of the Historical Association * Admirably researched in archives throughout the former Yugoslavia, in dozens of periodicals, and in numerous memoirs, this book provides novel and thought-provoking insight into the intersection of state power, national/ethnic identity, and leisure activites. Summing up: recommended. * CHOICE * Well-written ... a rich monograph that marks a milestone in football research ... a valuable foundation given to the facts, perspectives and suggestions as well as material for expansion, deepening and reorientation. * H-Soz-Kult (Bloomsbury translation) *

This long-awaited monograph is a brilliantly written and in-depth historical analysis based on the diversity of primary and secondary sources and, as such, it fulfils all expectations. * Reviews in History *
