Black grained paper over boards with black overlay on the spine with gilt and red lettering on the spine; author signature in red on the front board. 416 pp 8vo. Based on six years of talking with and traveling with Ali, Richard Dunham has produced the definitive story of Muhammad Ali as he has lived it. In this book, the heavyweight champion chronicles the battles he has faced in and out of the ring. The book is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali as sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
