The inside story of Mikel Arteta’s astonishing transformation of Arsenal
November 2019. Unai Emery’s final game as Arsenal manager sees the Gunners languishing eighth in the league. Appointed in the dying embers of the Wenger years, Emery’s 18 months as Arsenal boss has seen the team and the club go backwards – playing unimaginative, pragmatic football, and recently losing to London rivals Chelsea in the final of the Europa League. Something had to change; a fresh head with fresh ideas. A new leader.
This is the story of how Mikel Arteta turned Arsenal into one of the most exciting, innovative and feared teams in the league. From cutting his teeth as an assistant under Pep Guardiola before joining Arsenal in the winter of 2019, through to title contenders years later – including bust-ups, Covid, disappointments, FA Cup wins, fan revolt, and eventually the rise of an extraordinary young team standing on the edge of greatness – this book will be the first of its kind to explore the workings of Arteta’s philosophy and how he transformed the club from outsiders to title challengers.
With chapters on his tactical innovations, in-game strategies, transfer insight and, of course, an account of the memorable 2022-23 season – Revolution is the story of an extraordinary football ascent and the first draft of Arsenal’s new history.

Bought for my son who is a big Arteta / Arsenal fan – he is enjoying this book. Credited author who writes the truth and makes a change Arsenal are not being battered by the media! Worth reading for the truth about us (Arsenal).

Bought for my dad who’s a absolute Arsenal fanatic, he loved it!
by Tom
This book gives a brilliant insight into how Arteta has turned the football club from one of many issues and no prospect of success, to a hub of energy which feels almost destined to do something special soon. The book is well written and it is great to see the world of football from a journalistic point of view and a fans point of view in one. Been gripped to the book and nearly finished it within 2 days. This is well worth a read and full credit to Charles on this book and his YouTube channel which gives me 20 minutes of escapism everyday. Must buy

I bought this book to read whilst on holiday and it did not disappoint, I finished it in 3 days.
It’s refreshing to read a book where the author has the same feelings and perspective to the reader, it refreshes memories of the past few years of Arsenal football club and the ups and downs it, and the fans, have been through.
Highly recommended for a Gooner

It’s been a wild ride over the last few years and this book really captures the highs and lows we’ve had. Some interesting stories and nuggets from behind the scenes too.
