Summary of Bill Buford's Among the Thugs
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The downfall of Rome was due to the fact that people, being fed by the State, ceased to have any responsibility for themselves or their children, and became a nation of wasters.
#2 The author once traveled home from Wales by train. The station was a village station just outside Cardiff, and I arrived early. I bought a cup of tea. It was a cold Saturday evening, and only three or four other passengers were on the platform. A man was reading a newspaper, rocking back and forth on his feet.
#3 The violence I saw was a protest of some sort. It made sense that it would be, as so many young people were out of work or had never been able to find any. It was a rebellion of some sort, social or class rebellion.
#4 I explained that I had only attended one football game, years before when I was in Mexico City. My friends were unimpressed. They did not understand why I found the supporters' behavior so bizarre and difficult to understand.
