For those of you who purchased Charles Bannerman's fine book "Against All Odds" which covered the turbulent creation of Caledonian Thistle from the merger of Inverness Thistle and Caledonian FC this will take you one step further and chronicle the first 10 years history of the new club.

Going Ballistic tells the story of a Scottish football fairytale. Highland League clubs Inverness Thistle and Caledonian amalgamated in 1994 and joined the Third Division of the Scottish Football League. Ten seasons later, their offspring - Inverness Caledonian Thistle - became First Division Champions and earned the right to join the Scottish Premier League. Throughout this remarkable decade the Inverness side gained a fearsome cup reputation, with two Scottish Cup victories over Celtic and one against Hearts.

The book begins with the birth of Thistle and Caledonian in 1885, and tracks the lost opportunities for Inverness to gain a spot in the Scottish League. When the chance finally came, it took a traumatic merger to achieve the goal and start on the adventure that eventually led to glory.

Authoratitive, and concisely written, Going Ballistic combines match reports, interviews, anecdotes, behind-the-scenes insights and colour and black and white photographs to reveal the full story of these memorable ten seasons. The book also contains a comprehensive results and statistics section.

Going Ballistic is essential reading and all interested in Scottish Football generally.
