Transworld will be publishing Michael Calvin’s 1966 ahead of World Cup anniversary!
28 April 2026
Transworld has acquired 1966: A Moment in Time, a new book by award-winning writer Michael Calvin marking the 60th anniversary of England’s World Cup victory. ⚽️🏆

The synopsis says: “1966: A Moment in Time is a vivid portrait of the world in 1966, seen through the prism of the storied World Cup tournament. With London declared ‘a swinging city’ and John Lennon proclaiming The Beatles ‘more popular than Jesus’, civil rights movements and social change serve as beacons of hope and possibility. Yet, Cold War tensions, the escalation of the Vietnam War and the space race between America and the Soviet Union project a different image.”
The book will publish ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
