"Rivals! is a thorough and immensely entertaining read. Davieswrites in clear language without sacrificing the subtleties andcomplexities of the topics he engages. Indeed, Davies' study showedme how much I still have to learn about rivalries that, beforeencountering his work, I thought I understood quite well.Furthermore, and perhaps most important, Rivals! provides afoundation on which other studies of the sports rivalry can build."(Journal of Sports History, 1 April 2011) "This is the perfect book for any sports fan. If you renot a huge sports fan, it would make a great Father s Daygift, or a great gift for your teenager who wants to learn moreabout the history of teams." (KatieTalksAbout.com, May2010)
