This one is more on topic than most, as I read it while travelling through Italy. It's written during the 1997-1998 season, with Ancelotti giving the author a good inside to his management of the Parma squad then. However, it's at least as much about the general goings on in Serie A that year than Parma in specific.
It makes for a good read that's particularly interesting for its historical perspective -- though more of a flashback for fans during that time. Some of the more interesting parts of the book:
* Perspective on future Juve players (Buffon, Thuram) before their switch from Parma
* A recap of the massive controversy over officiating during the championship that year, en route to Juve's 25th scudetto
* Ancelotti's struggles with placing higher than 2nd (that were only resolved this year)
* How much AC Milan went into the toilet that season with many of the same players from previous years -- plus new ones who were superstars elsewhere and yet couldn't gel as a team. And the notion of cycles and what it means coming off one (Juventini, take notice).
* Inter's U.N.-like team and their spending spree, compared with Juve's strong Italian-French backbone.
* Juve's repeated strength at being a sum greater than its parts, and how its had a history of selling off some of its best players and still winning the scudetto. Plus Juve's success with "turnover" -- of aging players and those who aren't in top physical condition, despite past performances (take note this year, Moggi).
* Reflections on Italian media questions that still form the backbone of (annoying) threads in this forum today, e.g.: "If you had to choose one player, would you take DP or Ronaldo?"
* Baggio was getting old even then, but was -- then as now -- still quite capable.
ADDENDUM: Oh, and one more thing -- for all those Juventini who want to see us open up our offense and play more attacking football (this despite scoring more goals than anyone in Serie A except Roma [by 1 goal]): the book also makes mention, citing recent examples, of how often the top defensive team of the year wins the scudetto. The same holds true.
Damn, we need a defense.
