In their book Sport, National Identities and the Media: Battling Brits (Routledge, John Harris and John Vincent examine the relationship between sport, the media, and national identities in Great Britain. It draws upon case studies of different sporting events and stories, looking at the ways in which the media (re)present different narratives of the nation(s). We asked Christoph Wagner for a review, and received a thorough presentation and assessment concluding that the book offers a focused insight into recent developments and as such should be on the literary canon for undergraduate and postgraduate students alike.
