"No other figure in recent history has had the wide-reaching impact of the man known simply as "The Greatest." For four decades Muhammad Ali has served as a symbol of honesty and strength in sports, politics, reliogion, and civil rights. Throughout his remarkable career, Ali's courage, skill, ego, and beauty made him one of the most colorful and well-known of all public figures; someone who truly had to be seen to be believed. Using fight posters, tickets, rare memorabilia and classic photographs, Ringside brings Ali's extraordinary life into focus. Alex Haley, Norman ailer, Joyce Carol Oates, and Peter Rechmond each chronicle a decade of the boxer's storied career, from his tunning victory over Sonny Liston, when he first captured the heavyweight title, to his epic bouts with Joe Frazier and George Foreman, to his heroic struggles with Parkinson's syndrome. Included throughout are quotes from friends, family, and colleagues offering insight into the legend of Muhammad Ali and what has made him one of the world's true undisputed champions. With contributions from: Jackie Robinson, Malcolm X, Hunter S. Thompson, Jim Brown, ALex Haley, Norman Mailer, Leroi JOnes, Rocky Marciano, Pete Hamill, Bill Russell, Reggie Jackson, David Remnick, Joe Frazier, Peter RIchmond, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, George Plimpton, Joyce Carol Oates, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali and many more." - from the inner front jacket flap.
