Cold War Football
By Tony Shaw and Alan McDougall
From Dynamo Moscow’s stormy tour of Britain in 1945 to the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1991, Cold War Football charts the clash between capitalism and communism. Across Europe, Asia, South America and Africa it shows how the game offered a rare opportunity to see what life was like on the other side of the Iron Curtain, making friends of enemies but also fuelling revolution.
This is a fascinating history of how the Cold War shaped football and how football shaped the Cold War.
