Into the Arena: The World of the Spanish Bullfight by Alexander Fiske-Harrison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This Brit writer fell in love with bullfighting and even went down the path to be a matador-in-training. Along the way he introduces to recent bullfighting history, some important figures and behind the scenes elements, especiall bull breeding and traing. The author makes some convincing arguments that the "sport" (it is really sporting, like hunting?) is more humane than factor farming beef cattle, but in the end I am not convinced actually killing the bull for entertainment is defensible.
