Praise for The Games:

Goldblatt has become arguably the premier anglophone sports historianUnflinching before millennia worth of material, he tells the Olympic story from the ancient Greeks to today’s festival of sponsors. This book is illuminating, erudite, fair-minded, readable, told at a cracking pace, and puts the Games in their social and political context.

* The Financial Times *

Praise for The Game of Our Lives:

Not just the best soccer book in many years but an exemplary account of the changing character of British society in the post-Thatcher era.

* Prof David Runciman, The Wall Street Journal *

Praise for Futebol Nation: A Footballing History of Brazil

Goldblatt has a knack for putting football into its socio-economic context, a gift for synthesis, and frightening eloquence.
