I read it a while ago, it's a good general history of the team, and the circumstances of their demise.

There's an excellent website about the team here:

There's a list of other books about them there too.

I wouldn't recommend the Padraig Coyle book at all.

The better histories are by Mark Tuohy (published in 1979 to mark the 30th anniversary of their departure from football and reprinted in 1989 at the 40th anniversary) and one written by John Kennedy, also published in 1989.

Both of these books are simply called "Belfast Celtic" which can cause potential confusion. The Kennedy book is less good on historical matters but is lavishly illustrated with period photographs of the team over itssix decades lifespan and is visually excellent.
