Description |
Super well illustrated complete record and history of the first Bolivian team to tour Europe.
In 1961, the Always Ready Club from La Paz (Bolivia) undertook a three-month long tour of Europe. This book retraces the crazy adventure experienced by the twenty-four members of this football team from the Andes. By digging into the archives of ten European countries, by crossing sources and by talking with relatives or players present during this journey, the author highlights a human and sporting epic from another time. He also discovers facts that have remained in the shadows for more than sixty years. The appendices take up the thread of this tour in the smallest detail and the inserts overflow with rare and unpublished iconographic documents.
25 x 17 cms, softback, 156 pages.
