Produktbeschreibung

It is the May 2002 local elections in the Black Country, the 'Tipton Three' have been arrested and sent to Guantanamo and the BNP confidently expect new seats on the council. England are about to play Argentina in the World Cup while a local league clash is billed by the press as 'a match to spark a race war'. A passionate, page-turning story about grass-roots politics, football and the far right in a multicultural, working class town - HEARTLAND is one of the finest English novels of the decade.
