Description

A new biography of Socrates, the iconic 1982 captain of Brazil's national soccer team, offers a comprehensive and compelling account of his life. With his unique blend of athletic talent and philosophical ideals, Socrates stood out on and off the pitch.

From his incredible skill on the field to his dedication to politics and social causes, Socrates was a complex and contradictory figure. This biography, based on conversations with family members, close friends, and former teammates, sheds new light on his life and legacy.

Armed with Socrates's unpublished memoir and hours of newly discovered interviews, Andrew Downie has created a detailed and engaging portrait of a man who always stood up for what he believed in, whatever the cost.
