Book Reviews of Among the Thugs
Book Review: A chilling revelation into the hearts and minds of soccer th
Summary: 5 Stars
This book chronicles the many acts of mindless violence commited by young English soccer thugs.The author, who searches in vain for rational and even scientific answers as to why these youths act this way,often describes in vivid detail and sometimes amusing terms the degradation and depravity of his subjects.He usually sees this from an American point of view and I feel that maybe he is unable to fully understand the nationalistic and macho motivations of these psychopaths.But it is still well worth the read, if for nothing else,other than to see a stereotypicaly innocuous culture behave so frightenly violent.
