Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
On the new edition of "Talking Sports Books" I am joined by author and journalist Jonathan Wilson to talk about his just released book "The Power and the Glory" .The time is nearly upon us, just moths left to go until the greatest show on earth gets underwayAuthor Jonathan Wilson will join us in November to talk about his new book "The Power and the Glory.The football World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet. It has become a global obsession: 211 nations initially entered the 2022 edition. It has been running for almost a century. Yet there has never been a comprehensive history of the World Cup that has considered not only the matches and goals, the players and coaches, the tales of scandal and genius, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, but has also placed the tournaments within a socio-political framework. The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.
