Why people recommend it
1312 : among the Ultras by James Montague is a compelling sociological exploration of football fan subcultures and their intersections with fierce political activism across the globe. On the Behind the Bastards podcast during the episode It Could Happen Here Weekly 55, aired on October 15, 2022, the host recommended the text to the audience. The speaker emphasized that the publication is exceptionally well-written and worth exploring for anyone who holds a genuine curiosity about the political potential and organizational power demonstrated by football ultras. By focusing on the passionate and often rebellious nature of these sporting crowds, the recommendation highlighted how stadium fan groups frequently translate their collective solidarity into broader political movements and street-level resistance. The book serves as an eye-opening window into a hidden world of international sports culture, collective identity, and radical political engagement operating entirely outside traditional activist channels.
