More noble than war

Enlarge text Shrink text

"Soccer has never been apolitical. This is especially true for Israel and Palestine. The game played a direct role in shaping the politics of both countries, and the view from the stands or the pitch shines a light on key moments in the region's volatile history. In More Noble Than War, Nicholas Blincoe weaves a dramatic narrative filled with driven players and coaches who are inspired as much by nationalism as a love of the game. Blincoe traces the history from the sport's introduction through church leagues, the rising tensions after the creation of Israel, and the decades of violence, war, and hunger strikes that have decimated teams."--Page 4 of cover.
