'Brilliant and daring' Guardian You can see them, but you don't
know them. Ultras are football fans like no others. A hugely
visible and controversial part of the global game, their credo and
aesthetic replicated in almost every league everywhere on earth, a
global movement of extreme fandom and politics is also one of the
largest youth movements in the world. Yet they remain unknown: an
anti-establishment force that is transforming both football and
politics. In this book, James Montague goes underground to uncover
the true face of this dissident force for the first time. 1312:
Among the Ultras tells the story of how the movement began and how
it grew to become the global phenomenon that now dominates the
stadiums from the Balkans and Buenos Aires. With unprecedented
insider access, the book investigates how ultras have grown into a
fiercely political movement, embracing extremes on both the left
and right; fighting against the commercialisation of football and
society - and against the attempts to control them by the
authorities, who both covet and fear their power.
