Mike Marqusee

War Minus The Shooting 

Ram Kumar Ramaswamy 

Thoroughly enjoyable and astonishingly right in its predictions 

From 1996, Mike Marqusee has, with journalistic precision and local insights has blow-by-blow, recorded not just the happenings of the 1996 Cricket World Cup, but the larger forces of globalization, capitalistic greed, nationalism, and regionalism that continues to shape global sport. And most of what he predicted have come true as I write this in 2022. This book is a work of precision and beauty both. Told with empathy, and an unassumingly large hearted attitude that is so endearing to us. Was surprising to know that Marqusee grew up in America.
