Report from the center of the gangster world.
Everyone starts in the stands. In the fanatic sector, they proudly shout club songs, and would go through fire for the club's colors. "Ino Movement!" – they shout in Chorzów. Those who want more adrenaline go to away matches, those who still don't have enough - have a short way to stadium fights. Being useful in combat is the first step to becoming a member of Psycho Fans. "Soldiers" look with admiration at leaders who don't work anywhere, but drive the best cars, party in the most expensive clubs and have the most beautiful girls. Will blind loyalty to the leaders allow you to join this world?
In 2023, in the largest trial to date of members of the Ruch Chorzów fan gang, 46 out of 47 defendants were convicted. This is thanks to the fact that several psychofans cooperated with the prosecutor's office. They told about burglaries, drug trafficking, intelligence tracking the leaders of enemy militias, fatal beatings and gangster standoffs. Those who did not cooperate with the prosecutor's office received sentences from 2 to 15 years in prison. In Heavenly Wars, the world of hooligans is described by Marcin Pietraszewski, a reporter of "Gazeta Wyborcza" who has been following the gang's activities and subsequent attempts to dismantle it for years.
This book is also a journey to the very heart of Upper Silesia, through familoks, working-class districts, closed plants, mines and growing crime. To the world in which hooligans grew up.
