Description
In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced out and in of the ring on this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison.
Growing up within the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but in addition for respect and rewards way more precious than money or glory. He was once named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC. Ali redefined what it meant to be an athlete by giving hope to millions world wide and inspiring us all to fight for what is vital to us.
It is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali only he could render: sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; outrageous showman and gracious goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur; an impossible to resist force to be reckoned with.
Who better to tell the tale than the man who went the distance living it?
