New edition of this bestselling, seminal autobiography of Arsenal FC, fully revised and updated with five new chapters to bring it up to the start of a turbulent 2011/12 season in which the club's place at the top-table of European football will be challenged to the full.

Described by The Observer as “fascinating” and The Guardian as “shrewd and well-informed”, respected football magazine When Saturday Comes said of Arsènal: The Making of a Modern Superclub, “at last a football book that reflects the age”.

Based on unprecedented access granted to the authors, including exclusive interviews with Arsène Wenger and key Board members, current and former players, Arsènal looks in detail at the club’s transformation into a global superpower under the stewardship of their French manager and what has gone wrong over the last few years. The book analises the state of the club, both on and off the pitch, and the authors give their opinions on what needs to be done by the Manager and the Board to keep Arsenal at the very top of the sport.

Alex Fynn is a highly respected author of Arsenal books, including The Glorious Game, Heroes and Villains and The Great Divide as well as numerous titles on the politics of football. Kevin Whitcher is the editor of the highly influential Arsenal fanzine, The Gooner, co-author of The Glorious Game and author of Gunning for the Double – the Story of Arsenal's 1997/98 Season.
