The book is the comprehensive and well-researched, telling the complete story of Manchester United Football Club from the afternoon of the tragic Munich air disaster in February 1958 right through to the club winning the European Cup for the first time a decade later - arguably the most memorable period of the club's history. Including over 400 pictures and interviews with a number of the survivors, players who came to the club to help rebuild, and fans' first-hand recollections of the era. Rising from the Wreckage covers the devastation at Munich; the impact on and subsequent rebuilding of the club; the threat of relegation; the signing of players such as Denis Law and Pat Crerand; the rise of the club with the likes of Law, George Best and Bobby Charlton at the heart of the team; the FA Cup and League success; and the climax of Matt Busby's team winning the European Cup in May 1968.
