Description
Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times by Thomas Hauser is a comprehensive and honest portrait of one of the world's most famous boxing heroes. This book relates his legendary sporting accomplishments, as well as the high drama of life outside the boxing ring, through the words of over two hundred of Ali's family members, associates, opponents, friends and enemies. From Olympic gold in Rome to stunning victories and defeats, every historic moment of Ali's career is covered. The book also explores his controversial embrace of the Nation of Islam and his historic refusal to be inducted into the US Army, as well as his advocacy for people in need. With a willingness to stage fights in Third World locales, Ali continued his commitment to helping those in need, which was honoured in 2000 when he became a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Charismatic, dedicated and a skilful self-publicist, Muhammad Ali was the embodiment of the American Dream. This book provides an intimate and detailed look at his life, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in sports, biography or history.
