nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Uncommon Enemy: A True Story of Football, Power and Betrayal By Isha JohansenWhen Isha Johansen was elected President of the Sierra Leone Football Association, she believed her role was simple: clean up the organisation, introduce good governance, and put the country's football on a path to growth. What she found instead was a functioning criminal ecosystem of match-fixers, player traffickers, and political money launderers who had built their operations inside the beautiful game and had no intention of giving them up.What followed after was 8 years of survival at the highest levels of world football. Her offices were sealed with crime-scene tape. Armed military surrounded her home. Her phone rang at 2 am with death threats. The Anti-Corruption Commission was weaponised against her. FIFA funds were stolen the moment she left the country. And through all of it, she refused to be broken, bought, or silenced.The Uncommon Enemy is not a football book. It is a story about power, betrayal and the cost of integrity in a world where corruption has become the system. Set against the interconnected worlds of African politics, FIFA governance, and international sport, it is a survival story, an exposé, and a testament to the kind of defiance that entrenched power has never learned how to defeat.From boardrooms in Zurich to ministerial offices in Freetown, from CAF summits to the corridors where football and politics quietly do their worst, Johansen takes the reader inside a world rarely seen and never told quite like this. Her voice is sharp, funny, unsparing and entirely her own.Whether you are drawn to stories of courage under pressure, the politics of African governance, the hidden machinery of world sport, or simply an account of one remarkable woman who refused to become ordinary, The Uncommon Enemy will stay with you long after the final page.This is not the Isha Johansen story. But it may be one of the most important stories she ever tells.Get your copy now to read one of the most compelling memoirs to come out of African football.…
