SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR

'
A magnificent book.' MIKE ATHERTON
'Tender, atmospheric - and hopeful.' iNEWS
'A masterpiece.' IRISH TIMES
'Electrifying.' GUARDIAN


From the author of The Damned Utd and Red or Dead, an extraordinary novel about Britain, sport and our collective past.

February 6, 1958, British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on take-off at Munich Airport. On board were the young Manchester United team, 'the Busby Babes', and the journalists who followed them. Twenty-one of the passengers died instantly, four were left fighting for their lives while six more were critically injured.

Munichs is the story of the crash and its aftermath, of those who survived and those who did not, of how Britain and football changed, and how it did not; a novel of tragedy, but also of hope.

'Profound . . . A brilliant, brilliant book.' DAVID WHITEHOUSE
'Luminous and illuminating . . . completely gripping.' ASHLEY HICKSON-LOVENCE
'Powerful.' TARIQ GODDARD
