### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Insightful, eye-opening and a little too fast at the end
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2022*

This book is a must to all Barça's followers, especially those abroad.The first 2/3's are great. A piece of history that set's the fundation for the biggest run in the history of sports.It explains in deep the intricacies of the game in the setup of Catalonia and Spain, and it is very well written.But then the last third, arguably the most relevant for me at least, felt a little rushed, almost nothing that you didn't read on newspapers already.All in all, this is still a big recommend from my POV.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2021*

If you just want to limit yourself to reading about Barca's golden years, then other books might be more to your taste.But if you want to read about the unmaking as well as the making of the world's greatest club ever, then this is a very timely, insightful and thorough history of the team.It will be controversial to many FCB stalwart fans.  I can see why some would want to recommend other histories and steer readers away from this volume, pooh-poohing it as not offering any new revelations.Check it out and make that determination for yourselves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Pleasure to read
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2021*

I had never read the author, and I had no idea what style to expect. Some of these sports books are dense encyclopedias and some are just fluff.  But as soon as I read the prologue intro to the major players and staff, I was already learning a ton and laughing my ass off. Just a joy to read.
