Inside Diego is an intimate portrait of the greatest footballer of
all time, from the person in football who knew him best. As Diego
Maradona's personal trainer, Fernando Signorini spent more than a
decade at the superstar's side, witnessing a dizzying array of
highs and lows, from helping Diego recuperate from a broken ankle
in 1983 to his dramatic exit from the 1994 World Cup after a failed
drugs test. Signorini offers a unique perspective on the troubled
legend, giving us the lowdown not only on Diego's evolution as an
athlete, but on Diego the human being, a far cry from the character
we saw on TV screens. He brings us the inside track on Maradona's
preparation for three World Cups: Mexico 86, Italia 90 and USA 94.
We also get an insider view on his battles with fame, drugs and
extramarital paternity, plus his time in charge of the Argentine
national team. Brimming with incredible stories and anecdotes,
Inside Diego is an intensely personal rollercoaster account of a
flawed football genius.
This book analyses the rise and decline of the Basque terrorist
group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA, Basque Homeland and Freedom). ETA
declared a unilateral ceasefire in November 2011, bringing to a
close a campaign of political violence that started in the late
1960s. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the
overwhelming majority of secession supporters agreed that an
independent Basque homeland would be realised through 'ballots' and
not 'bullets'. Providing an inter-disciplinary overview of radical
Basque nationalism that pays special attention to the drivers for
ETA's decline, defeat and disbandment, this book includes chapters
by historians, political scientists and sociologists who offer
three important theoretical and empirical contributions to the
literature on nationhood and security studies. Firstly the book
re-assesses the military conflict that opposed ETA and the Spanish
state, by paying special attention to tactical and strategic
considerations as well as the counter-terrorist policy itself.
Secondly it provides an original interpretation of the politics of
fear which surrounded the process of victimization, as well as
assessing the extent to which the issue of violence led to the
polarisation of citizens. Thirdly the authors examine the
historical narratives and rituals that contributed to the
production and reproduction of identity binaries and memories of
war. Arguing that the defeat of ETA must be contextualised within
the strategic evolution of Basque nationalism, the declining
resonance of the radical message and the effectiveness of the
Spanish counter-terrorist effort, this book is essential reading
for students and scholars working in the areas of European
politics, nationalism and terrorism studies.
