Reviews

[Dinesh Balachandran]

A very simplistic biography of Muhammad Ali. The author provides a high level narrative of the life of Ali. He touches upon the characters and choices that shaped the champ. If you are looking for a detailed book on the champion boxer, this will not cut. But for readers who wanted to understand who Ali was and what he stood for, this is a good start.

[Warrez Spence]

really good book about one of the greatest boxers of all time!
