£65.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Munichs’ published by Faber in 2024. A fine book, without inscriptions, in like wrapper
Munichs (2024) by David Peace is a novel that revisits the 1958 Munich air disaster, which killed 23 people—including eight Manchester United football players—when their plane crashed on takeoff from a slush-covered runway in Munich.
Peace, known for his intense, rhythmic prose and obsession with historical tragedy (The Damned Utd, Red Riding Quartet), reconstructs the catastrophe from multiple viewpoints: survivors, witnesses, rescuers, and ghosts. The book explores grief, survivor’s guilt, and collective memory, transforming the disaster into a meditation on loss, sport, and post-war Britain’s psyche.
