Book First Edition
Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. First edition. Paperback. Foreword by Hugh Mcllvanney. Athlete, activist, rebel, poet, legend 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 "slave name": 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 and above all, his adherence to principle 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 Ali s own words and those of hundreds of family members, friends, rivals, and others who interacted with "The Greatest" over the decades, reveals a deeply spiritual, complex man, whose public and private battles, including his struggle against the devastating effects of Parkinson s 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 century s most charismatic and controversial superstars. Illus., Author's Epilogue, Appendix, Notes and Index. 544pp. p/back. F. with no creasing to covers.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Hardback. 5th Impression (1st pub. 1991). SIGNED BY MUHAMMAD ALI, THE AUTHOR AND OTHERS. He was one of the most recognisable men on earth. At time of publication, thirty years after he burst upon the scene as a gold medal winner at the Rome Olympics, Muhammad Ali remained a magical figure, known and loved throughout the world. Ali brought unprecedented speed and grace to his sport, and his charm and wit changed forever what the world expected a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring were the stuff of legend - two fights with Sonny Liston, when he proclaimed himself "the greatest" and proved he was; three epic wars against Joe Frazier; the stunning victory over George Foreman in Zaire; and, late in his career, the brutal beating he absorbed at the hands of Larry Holmes. But there was always far more to Muhammad Ali than what took place in a boxing ring. Ali's life and career have been played out as much on the front page as the sports page. His early embrace of the "Black Muslim" movement and his insistence on being called Muhammad Ali instead of his "slave name", Cassius Clay, heralded a new era in black pride. His refusal to be inducted into the US Army anticipated the growing anti-war movement of the 1960s. And his willingness to stage his fights in such far-flung locales as Kinshasa, Manila and Kuala Lumpur signalled a shift away from superpower dominance, towards a growing awareness of the importance of the Third World. This was the first comprehensive and honest portrait of this extraordinary man. In the words of over 200 of Ali's family members, associates, opponents, friends, enemies and others who have known him best, the real Ali emerges: deeply religious, mercurial, kind, generous, a showman in and out of the ring. Illus., Author's Epilogue, Appendix, Notes and Index. 544pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of the legendary former Scotland Yard Det. Chief Supt. Leonard 'Nipper' Read, who was Chair then President of the British Boxing Board of Control, and who was also responsible for the arrest and conviction of the infamous Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. FLATSIGNED BY MUHAMMAD ALI AND THE AUTHOR THOMAS HAUSER; INSC. AND SIGNED TO 'NIPPER' READ BY HENRY COOPER AND JOHN CONTEH; plus insc. and signed by two others whose signatures I have been unable to identify, although one was by a British MP.
