商品簡介
For most of the world outside of the US, football (soccer) is followed fanatically. It is the stuff of hero-worship. This holds true for what was the Soviet Union. Moscow's home team, Spartak, had its roots as far back as the earliest parts of the twentieth century. During much of its lifespan, the team's main rival was one sponsored by the State secret police. The history of Spartak reflects Soviet life and politics into the 1990s. Robert Edelman has provided a fact-filled, thoughtful look at the team, its times, and its place within a troubled and complicated society.
