Review:
"Janet Lever has given us a first-rate book." -- Charles H. Page, Contemporary Sociology
"Lever has given the reader a small book as well written as it is thoughtful; the role of sport in human society is deserving of more study, and this account is a happy example painted in the bright colors and sharp contrasts of Brazilian life." -- Philip Morrison, Scientific American
"Soccer Madness . . . is a fascinating study of people, culture, and politics-- with its ultimate insight being about us, tenants of the Sports Age. Soccer is coming . . . and fans, sports writers, and those who would be in the know about modern times ignore this book at their risk." --Rick Telander, Sports Illustrated
