Since 1930, the World Cup has become a truly global obsession, but it has also been a vehicle for far more than football. Yet there has been no comprehensive history of the tournament.

Our reviewer Łukasz Muniowski is overwhelmed by Wilson’s effort – a brilliant book by a brilliant sports journalist that should impress even the most knowledgeable football fanatics.
