Considered a genius of the sport, Argentina’s Diego Maradona is the greatest soccer player in history. Renowned for his remarkable skill on the field, he was equally infamous for his unstable and self-destructive behavior off the field. Maradona: The Hand of God explores the shocking highs and lows of this extraordinary athlete, including his impoverished childhood, his rise from teenage celebrity to international star, his drug abuse problems and frequent run-ins with the law, and his controversial “hand of God” goal, which came to symbolize the ongoing rivalry between England and Argentina. Maradona: The Hand of God is an affectionate, unflinchingly honest portrait of a man touched by God, yet pursued by demons.
