Doubtless one of the finest World Cup history nooks ever published !
This lavish, large-format photo book brings together the most legendary moments in football history – events that have been seared into the collective memory of millions of fans: the 'Miracle of Bern', the famous 'Wembley goal' of 1966, Maradona's 'Hand of God', Zidane's fatal headbutt in 2006, and Germany's exhilarating victories in South Africa.
Each of the 19 World Cup tournaments since 1930 is presented – with the best photos from international agencies and exclusive texts by prominent authors, including Christoph Biermann ('11Freunde'), Christof Siemes ('Die Zeit'), and Ludger Schulze, the former sports editor of the 'Süddeutsche Zeitung'. Well-known sports journalists from England (Jonathan Wilson) and Austria (Matthias Marschik) also contribute.
This elaborately designed book, with its elegant binding, immortalizes international football history with a rarely achieved appeal.
31 x 24 cms, hardback, 416 pages.
