Description
Dark Trade: Lost in Boxing by Donald McRae is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the world of professional boxing. With a novelist's eye for detail, McRae delves into the emotional forces that drive men to get into the ring, revealing hopes, fears, and obsessions along the way. Through his own journey across the US and Britain, McRae uncovers the stories of legendary fighters, including James Toney, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Roy Jones, Jr., and others. A new chapter by the author adds depth to this chronicle, which captures not only McRae's personal journey but also the complexities of the sport. A stunning cover featuring a painting of James Toney by Amanda Kelley completes this edition, now released in the US for the first time.
