Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Relegated. Twice. Once in a war zone. Once in a stadium.Dr. Kevin P. Wallace wore a West Ham shirt under his body armour in Afghanistan. When the shrapnel hit, he didn't think about medals or mission reports. He wondered if the badge survived.This is not your typical football memoir.It's th…e story of an American airman who found home in East London's terraces, adopted by Plaistow lads who judged him on whether he'd buy a round and sing. It's about watching relegation on a flickering eighteen-inch screen in a combat camera office while Italian soldiers put hands on his shoulders. About a 27,106-mile road trip across America collecting stories of wounded warriors-with West Ham matches as the punctuation between grief and hope.From the Boleyn Ground's final days to a Prague tunnel where two Americans nearly caused an international incident, from a 'rage tent' art studio to the night Bowen lifted the Europa Conference League trophy, Wallace traces the scarlet and blue thread stitching together a life lived between uniforms.His wife Lauren-co-author, anthropologist, and fellow convert-adds her own voice, chronicling how a woman who grew up suspicious of crowds ended up belting 'Bubbles' on a bench in Old Town Square.This book is for anyone who's ever loved something that breaks their heart exactly when they need it broken. For the veterans who carried a club across oceans. For the supporters who light candles in the pissing rain and use their bodies to shield the flame.The scoreline never mattered. The person next to you always did.Up the Hammers. Always.
