Description
Cassius Clay was just a young boy from Louisville, Kentucky, with big ambitions. Trained in the 5th Street Gym for his heavyweight title clash against Sonny Liston, he was beginning to explore new ideas and attitudes that would change him forever. As Cassius Clay became increasingly involved with Black Power, firebrand preacher Malcolm X took on a spiritual role in his life. Meanwhile, he befriended legendary soul singer Sam Cooke, fell in love with soul singer Dee Dee Sharp, and witnessed the early days of soul music firsthand. Stuart Cosgrove's book tells the story of Cassius Clay's remarkable transformation into Muhammad Ali, set against the backdrop of social and political turmoil in 1960s America.
