    Best book on German football history in English
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019*

It is rare to find a good and unbiased source on German football history in English and Uli Hesse's book is indeed a gift for the fans of German football who don't speak the language.This book covers the history of German football right from the very beginning and includes the 2006 World Cup held in Germany (for the revised version).Uli Hesse writes with passion and it helps that he's a football fan so the prose is never dry or dull. He does a wonderful job in narrating the complete history of German football and also kindly takes time to explain some peculiar aspect of it such as the clubs' naming conventions, ownership rules, etc, which is very useful for non-German speaking readers.Hesse also traces the history of Bundesliga as well as the national team's successes and failures. He also covers some of the major personalities of the game - not just players but also coaches and administrators. Even though the scope is wide, he does an admirable job in telling a riveting story.On the flip side, he could have done a better job in telling the story line. His plot revolves around the history of Bundesliga, the national team and some key personalities. Often these story lines are told parallely but he often gets ahead of himself and get the time lines mixed up.Also it would been much better to devote separate chapters on the key personalities and  do them justice rather than describe them in passing. There were many interesting characters that deserves a deeper coverage.  Also it would have been better to devote chapters to specific clubs such as Gladbach, Dortmund, Bayern, etc to describe their contribution to the German football history and legacy.My verdict - This book is an essential reading for all German football fans.

    Perfect for those who love football
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2019*

Fascinating book about the history of German football, from its start when it arrived from England, to the creation of different city clubs  and the creation of the national league. This is a must read for those interested in German football.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Easy read, informative with right balance of light & serious stuff.
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2014*

I bought a kindle version, and finished reading it within 3 weeks (quite casual read everyday). For a casual follower of football, the book has the right balance of being entertaining enough and informative on the football history of Germany. It is not too technical, and was written sometimes with a sense of humour, vividly demonstrating the unpredictability of the beautiful game. It also has the right balance of Bundesliga introduction and German national football campaign. All in all, it is a good past-time read, and well suited for people who intend to enhance their knowledge in the game, and how Germany has come to where it is now. The only pity of the book is that it is only until 2003, with a brief touch of 2006 World Cup. A new version would be needed to catch up what happened since then, especially Jurgen Klinsman & Co.'s reign at German football. Strongly recommended!
