The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss
Soccer Against The Enemy is kind of a similar idea to How Soccer Explains the World, but it talks about some different stuff.
The Miracle of Castel di Sangro - a bizarre, true story about an Italian team that climbs from the basement of Italian soccer to the Serie B. It's about the country and the people as much as it is about soccer, but it was absurd and fascinating and I couldn't put it down.
The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is a classic, its not so much about history but about the writer following one team for a season http://www.amazon.com/The-Miracle-Castel-Sangro-Passion/dp/0767905997
the book The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is a great one about Italian football

It is one of the best on tactics. If you want to read a really good story about a football team then [The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Miracle-Castel-Sangro-Passion/dp/0767905997) is a great read. An American journalist coincidentally follows the rise and fall (on and off the field) of a tiny Italian football club.
Not Arsenal related at all, but this is the single best football book I've ever read:

Great TRUE story about an American journalist embedded in a lower league Italian club as they miraculously progress up through the divisions against all odds. It follows the ins and outs of players, managers, and owners, and provides a really good picture of what life is like for footballers not playing at the game's highest levels.
Reminds me of the Miracle of Castel di Sangro, one of the best sports books and most uplifting underdog tales you will ever read.
There's a pretty good book (at least I thought it was when I was 11) that I read way back when about a lower league Italian team called Castel di Sangro. A good number of the Amazon reviews say the author imposes his personal ethics and views too heavily in his writing, but whatever, I remember liking it. It introduced me to the underbelly of the Italian game at an early age.
