Description
Uncover the true face of football's most extreme fans. James Montague delves into the world of ultras, revealing their credo and aesthetic that has replicated in almost every league worldwide.
The ultras movement is an anti-establishment force transforming both football and politics. With unprecedented insider access, this book investigates how they grew from a grassroots phenomenon to a global movement, embracing extremes on both sides of the political spectrum.
From the Balkans to Buenos Aires, Montague sheds light on the ultras' fight against commercialisation and societal control, as well as their power struggles with authorities. A gripping account of this dissident force, 1312: Among the Ultras is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in football, politics, or social movements.
