The North-East of England is a highly distinctive region of the United Kingdom, markedly different in history, tradition & culture from its bordering regions of Yorkshire, Cumbria & Scotl&. It was a centre of spiritual & cultural excellence & leadership during the Dark Ages, & more recently it has been one of the world's most dynamic & innovative industrial complexes. It was equally distinctive in being an international & subsequently national frontier region, which profoundly affected its life during & after the long Anglo-Scottish war. Since the eighteenth century, much has been written about the North-East, but this encyclopaedia is the first attempt at a comprehensive compendium covering all aspects, & over an extended period.

AN EPIC SWINDLE is the inside story of how Liverpool FC came within hours of being re-possessed by the banks after the shambolic 44-month reign of American owners Tom Hicks & George Gillett. It is the tale of a civil war that dragged Britain's most successful football club to its knees, through the High Court & almost into administration. Players Steven Gerrard & Jamie Carragher tell of their anger at the broken promises, as well as their pain at watching loyal fans in open revolt. Manager, chief executive, board members, leading fans & journalists reveal the turmoil at a revered sporting institution run by two men at war with each other, who trampled Liverpool's cherished traditions into the gutter. No story sums up the naked greed at the heart of modern football quite like Hicks' & Gillett's attempt to turn a buck at Liverpool. No-one has had as much access to the truth, or tells it with as much passion, wit & insight as Brian Reade. AN EPIC SWINDLE is the riveting story of how close one of the great football clubs came to financial implosion. ...
