The Anatomy of Liverpool

This insightful, highly readable book attempts to map the evolution of the club through ten specific matches… Above all, The Anatomy of Liverpool is an engrossing account of a sporting institution forging its identity through the post-war years. Some of the detail is priceless too… Highly recommended. – Rob Hughes * WHEN SATURDAY COMES *
