通过讲述英国报纸历史上具影响力的体育运动的鲜为人知的故事，该运动将职业橄榄球中的脑震荡从一个小众问题变成了头版和封底新闻，随着越来越多的证据表明运动相关的脑震荡与过早死亡和痴呆症有关，《脑震荡》提出了所有体育爱好者都需要回答的问题。

萨姆·彼得斯将他的研究范围从橄榄球扩展到足球、NFL 和其他接触性运动，为他十年来一直撰写和宣传的主题带来了经验广度、知识深度和新闻严谨性。

如今，体育运动的“肮脏秘密”已被公开，彼得斯问道：橄榄球和其他体育运动如何才能摆脱威胁其生存的既得利益？

'There is a real sense of mission in his voice - and vitriol for those who held back the sport for so long' The Observer

The definitive account of sport's concussion crisis, how its 'dirty secret' was finally made public and what rugby union must now do to save itself.

'Peters' work is in the greatest tradition of British journalism: fearless, unstoppable and committed to righting a profound wrong.' DAN SNOW

'Sam Peters has fought a truly magnificent campaign on concussion in rugby . . . sport will be safer because of it.' STEPHEN JONES

By recounting the untold story of the most influential sports campaign in British newspaper history, which turned concussion in professional rugby from a niche issue into front and back page news, Concussed poses the questions all sports lovers need answering as evidence grows linking sports-related concussions to premature deaths and dementia.

Expanding his research from rugby to football, NFL and other contact sports, Sam Peters brings an unparalleled breadth of experience, depth of knowledge and journalistic rigour to a subject he has written about and campaigned over for a decade.

Now sport's 'dirty secret' is out in the open, Peters asks: how can rugby and other sports save themselves from the vested interests which threaten their very existence?
