Glorious Summers &
Discontents, Looking Back On
The Ups And Downs From A
Dramatic Decade

In this fascinating book,
Mike Atherton selects
the best pieces he has
written over the last
decade. Renowned as a
shrewd and resolute
captain of England,
Atherton moved
effortlessly into the
commentary box and Fleet
Street, proving himself
every bit as capable with
the pen as with the bat.
It has been a dramatic
period, seeing the rise
of Twenty20 cricket and
the IPL, as well as the
revival of England's
prospects, breaking a
long era of Australian
dominance in the Ashes.
There has also been
controversy, too, with
terrorist attacks,
Zimbabwe and allegations
of Pakistani spot-fixing
all distracting fans from
the essence of the game.
Through it all, Atherton
comments with the true
insight of one who has
been there, the humane
understanding of someone
who has genuine empathy
for the issues involved
and, above all, his
opinions are based on a
deep love for the game
and sport in general. His
writing has become
essential reading for all
sports fans. This book
shows exactly why that is
the case.
