It`s Messi vs Ronaldo, it`s Catalonia vs Castilla. It`s the nation against the state, freedom fighters vs Franco`s fascists. It`s majestic goals & mesmerising skills, red cards & bench brawls. It`s the best two teams on the planet going face to face & toe to toe. It`s more than a game. It`s a war. It`s Barcelona vs Real Madrid... Only, it`s not that simple. From the wounds left by the civil war to the teams` recent global domination, historian & expert on Spanish football, Sid Lowe lifts the lid on sport`s greatest rivalry. Lowe has spoken to the biggest names & the forgotten heroes who defined their clubs. Men like Alfredo Di Stefano & Johan Cruyff as well as the only survivor of the most politically charged game in history, the Barcelona striker who knocked Madrid out of the European Cup for the first time ever, & the president who celebrated his club`s defining moment by taking a midnight dip in the Thames. By exploring the history, politics, culture, economics & language, while never forgetting the drama on the pitch, Lowe demonstrates the symbiotic nature of the relationship between these two football giants. In doing so he reveals the human story behind this explosive rivalry. ...

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas tells the tale of journalist Hunter S Thompson & his ‘attorney’, the Samoan, driving to Las Vegas to find the dark side of the American dream.

Riotously funny, daringly original & dead serious at its core, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is a classic statement on the collapsed dream of the American Sixties. ...
