In his Times Best Sports Book of the Year, David Horspool tells the story of how the British shaped sport, and sport shaped the British, touching on many significant aspects of past and present: national identity, class, gender, the relationship between country and town, the rise of commerce, the evolution of ethical debate. He reveals how triumphs and heartbreaks have become part of the national narrative and how sport has cemented its place as the ultimate theatre of Britain’s past and present. David is an editor on the Times Literary Supplement and writes a monthly history column for The Oldie magazine.
