THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
Charles Watts's book 'Revolution' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-08-28.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2023This 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

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2024Again, I'm not an Arsenal fan. I bought it as a present for Christmas. It arrived quickly and in good condition so I have no problems.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2023I’ve never known my husband read a book so quickly. One day is all it took. It’s my turn next. He said it was well written and as we’re Arsenal supporters it was great to relive the beginning of Arteta as a manager. My turn next!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2024Bought for my super fan partner for Christmas. He really enjoyed it and was well written...but unfortunately within 10 minutes he'd found several dates/match inaccuracies. Fact checking, as usual, let's this book down. A good read if you can overlook the errors.

5.0 out of 5 stars COYG!
This book is well written. It provides lots of “behind the scenes” details about the last few years at Arsenal. As a big Arsenal supporter, I couldn’t put it down. Terrific book!
