Reviews for Hooper´s Revolution: A Story of Soccer, the 70´s, & America
Dennie Wendt's Hooper's Revolution is a wildly entertaining read, one of the top soccer titles we have ever reviewed. It's an eclectic mix of creative alternate history, unruly fiction, and a massive passion for the beautiful game. Simply put, it feels like The Man in the High Castle, Once in a Lifetime, and Hunter Thompson rolled together.
