Dutch football great Johan Cruyff once said, “If I wanted you to understand it, I would have explained it better.” In Brilliant Orange, David Winner explains it all, and then some, with great affection and humor. Winner shows how the history of Dutch football is also much like the history of the Netherlands itself. He details not only the development of many Dutch national quirks but also the rise of “Totaal Voetbal,” the national team’s distinctive style of play. Just like Holland as a country had to find new and imaginitive uses for space because it is so small, Dutch footballers used the space on the football pitch in ways no one had ever seen before. Even for non-football fans, this off-beat book is a delightful read. --Colt R. |
