Description

The Defiant: A History of Football Against Fascism uncovers the role that footballers and fans have played in the fight against fascism and the far right.

Follow the path of football activism from the turbulent 1920s to the culture wars of the 21st century.

What role did footballers play in World War Two? How did a Portuguese Cup Final help bring down Western Europe's longest-running dictatorship?

What impact did the football community have in bringing the atrocities of Latin America's cruellest dictators to global attention?

Football historian and author Chris Lee shines a spotlight on the roles of players, fans, coaches and officials in the fight against the dictatorships of Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Salazar and authoritarian states in Latin America, bringing us an intriguing cast of rebels, partisans, spies and activists.

Featuring interviews with leading authors and academics, fans and progressive football clubs, The Defiant shows that football and politics cannot be separated and asks what the future holds.
