Description
Behind the Curtain is a fascinating exploration of the changing landscape of Eastern European football since the fall of communism. Jonathan Wilson delves into the world of football behind the old Iron Curtain, revealing the shift from state-controlled teams to a free market, and the resulting chaos. He charts the disintegration of footballing superpowers, exposes corruption and mismanagement, and uncovers the stories of legendary players like Eduard Streltsov.
