Sinossi
*** Before Running with the Firm came Among the Thugs - the bestselling classic account of football violence in English football ***
Welcome to the world of football thuggery.
They have names like Bonehead, Paraffin Pete and Steamin’ Sammy. They like lager, football, the Queen, and themselves. They love England. They dislike the rest of the known universe.
The beautiful game remains ugly.
From following Manchster's Red Army to drinking with Skinheads, acclaimed writer Bill Buford enters this alternate society and records both its savageries and its sinister allure with the social imagination of George Orwell and the raw personal engagement of Hunter S. Thompson.
Among the Thugs is a terrifying, malevolently funny, supremely chilling book about the experience, and the eerie allure, of crowd violence and football culture.

Recensione
"The definitive guide to hooligan culture" (joe.co.uk)
"Superbly written ... darkly exhilarating ... a sort of rollercoaster chamber of horrors" (Guardian)
"Compelling, intelligent and fully engaged" (Martin Amis)
"[Buford] gatecrashes a social world that most of us have spent some portion of our lives avoiding and brings it to life on the page with a ferocious relish that only someone who was a foreigner to soccer could manage, or stomach" (Jonathan Raban)
"Buford's reportage is vivid and racy, dropping you in the thick of the madness with a Wolfe-like immediacy" (Daily Telegraph)
"The excellence of his writing takes the reader to the centre of the mob... His words have the fragmented accuracy of a hand-held television camera in a war zone" (John Stalker Sunday Times)
"Possesses something of the quality of A Clockwork Orange" (The Times)
"This is an absorbing read, and another winner from Buford, who writes so very, very well" (Buzzfeed)
"Among the Thugs is, by some distance, the best book ever written about football violence. Intelligent, succinct, and always in the thick of it, it reads as a blood-fuelled ode to English football, and as a primer for what will be when Russia hosts the World Cup. It grabs the readers attention like a headbutt to the cakehole." (Tony Parsons)
"Sizzling writing to rival the best of white-heat gonzo journalism" (New Statesman)
