{"product_id":"ultra","title":"Ultra","description":"\u003cp\u003eItaly's ultras are the most organised and violent fans in European football. Many groups have evolved into criminal gangs, involved in ticket-touting, drug-dealing and murder. A cross between the Hells Angels and hooligans, they're often the foot-soldiers of the Mafia and have been instrumental in the rise of the far-right. But the purist ultras say that they are are insurgents fighting against a police state and modern football. Only amongst the ultras, they say, can you find belonging, community and a sacred concept of sport. They champion not just their teams, they say, but their forgotten suburbs and the dispossessed. Through the prism of the ultras Jones crafts a compelling investigation into Italian society and its favourite sport.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head of Zeus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53590422847862,"sku":"9781786697370","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781786697370.jpg?v=1731159098","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/ultra","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
