Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First edition. Paperback. Foreword by Hugh Mcllvanney. Athlete, activist, rebel, poet, legend â" Muhammad Ali stood larger than life in the imagination of hundreds of millions of people around the world. A gold medalist at the 1960 Olympics, he won the heavyweight championship at age twenty-two by conquering Sonny Liston in dramatic fashion. In the weeks after the upset victory, he confirmed his membership in the Nation of Islam and told reporters he would no longer answer to his âslave nameâ: Cassius Clay. The political establishment stripped him of his heavyweight title when he refused induction into the United States Army during the height of the war in Vietnam. Ultimately, Ali returned to reclaim his crown, prevailing in epic fights against the likes of Joe Frazier and George Foreman. His talent and charisma â" and above all, his adherence to principle â" made him a cultural icon and one of the most beloved sporting figures of all time. But that is only half the tale. This is also the story of Ali, the man. The author got closer to Ali than any previous biographer. His work, told in Aliâs own words and those of hundreds of family members, friends, rivals, and others who interacted with âThe Greatestâ over the decades, reveals a deeply spiritual, complex man, whose public and private battles, including his struggle against the devastating effects of Parkinsonâs disease, gave new meaning to the word courage and changed forever our conception of what makes a champion. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the legacy of one of the twentieth centuryâs most charismatic and controversial superstars. Illus., Author's Epilogue, Appendix, Notes and Index. 544pp. p/back. F. with no creasing to covers.…

Soft Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. A near Fine unmarked copy. A large format volume of 176 pages. Illustrated throughout with photographs. Foreword by Muhammad Ali. It wasn't easy doing what Ali did in Atlanta. But this is a man who, all his life has come up with one incredibly gutsy performance after another. There was no wy he could beat Sonny Liston. So he went out and beat Sonny Liston. There was no way he would give up his title. So as an act of principle he gave up the heavyweight championship of the world. He beat George Foreman, when everyone knew he couldn't. He won the heavyweight crown for a third time, against Leon Spinks, when he was too old to win. Each time the world thought Ali was out of miracles, he performed another miracle. That's Muhammad Ali, In Perspective: and what you had in Atlanta was a wonderful reaffirmation of just how much Muhammad Ali means to the world. Three billion people were watching. Three billion people were in love with one man. Three billion people, even if it was just for a moment, had all the hate and petty prejudices removed from their hearts, and felt nothing but love. That's a miracle. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.96 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 5 Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.…
