Description

A thought-provoking study of the long-running feud between two boxing legends. Mark Kram's book offers a dramatic insight into the rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, set against the backdrop of their epic 1975 battle in Manila. The rivalry between Ali and Frazier was fueled by more than just personality clashes and fighting styles - it took on overtones of politics and race. As Kram reveals, the hype surrounding their trilogy of fights ultimately led to devastating consequences for both men. Today, Frazier is still consumed by hate, while Ali's body is ravaged by Parkinson's disease. Kram's book explodes the hagiography surrounding both fighters, presenting a psychologically riveting study of two heroes and the reality behind it all.
