Opis

Turkey is a nation obsessed with football.

Recenzje

"Patrick Keddie takes us inside the unceasing Turkish football conversation. The game turns out to be a great device to explain this little understood, football-mad country and its football-mad ruler (who recently banned the foreign word "arena", forcing many Turkish stadiums to be renamed). The Passion is an energetically researched history of Turkey through football." Simon Kuper, Financial Times columnist and author of Football Against the Enemy
