I haven't read it, but saw the review on bundesliga fanatic. I'll post the link at the bottom, but it's a travelouge and he goes to Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, the Balkans, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia. As the article mentions it's from 2006 so some things have changed, but I think thenry said he was moving to Ukraine or something like that so I thought he and others might be interested. It isn't too long, so I'll probably squeeze it in soon.

Same author as Inverting the Pyramid

Eastern Europe is his specialty. Here are his Guardian articles: LINK

Many are worth a read

I read it recently. Some of it is quite dense, and repetitive albeit informative. Gist: Eastern European country breaks from the Soviet Union. Turns out they're now poor fiscally and in footballing terms and corrupt.

The other sections about football in Ukraine, the Balkans, and Russia are interesting.
