Corsair How to Rule the World Fischer Tibor

A social history of 1980s Britain, told through the sport of the time • Travel back to the 1980s - to Botham's Ashes and the Brixton riots; the Moscow Olympics and the miners' strike; the Crucible Theatre and the Falklands - to explore how we got to where we are now.

In so doing it tells nothing less than the story of how British sport came into the modern era

Through vivid storytelling he reveals how we can evaluate the claims that surround us with confidence, curiosity and a healthy level of scepticism. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about understanding the world around them
