Uruguay remains a curious case in world football. Early Olympic and
World Cup triumphs made it the game's first global power, and the
small country has punched above its weight ever since. But the
story behind its success is untold. In this first English-language
history of Uruguayan football, Martin da Cruz maps the game's
journey from exclusive British pastime to Uruguayan national
passion, bringing to life the teams, players and personalities who
helped create one of the world's most intense sporting cultures.
From the start, football was intimately tied to Uruguay's national
story. Wedged between giants Argentina and Brazil and lacking a
cohesive national identity, Uruguay used the game to create unified
and educated citizens, to put an end to civil war and become an
advanced social democracy. Yet football also drove
counter-narratives of class and race, challenging Uruguay's
self-identification as a peaceful, 'white' nation. From Beauty to
Duty is the story of a little country made big.
