Well-written and thoroughly reseached, Mark Bowden has done well to capture the true importance of this game. In my mind, the best part about the book was the fact that the author was not an ex-jock or sportswriter. His viewpoint is different, and if you have ever read his other books (i.e. Blackhawk Down), you'll appreciate this difference.
There is plently of detail in the book for the sports lover, but it's the historical perspective of the game that dew me in and led to my high rating.
