Muhammed Ali: His Life and Times |
Ali's life told by those that worked, lived, fought and were employed by him and undoubtedly the best biography of a sporting figure I've ever read. Always a divisive figure, time allows a true appreciation of his turbulent life - the black consciousness movement, conversion to Islam, and his stand on the Vietnam War. That a single sportsman, however good, could act as such a social lightning-rod makes for a complex and a truly remarkable story. (Clive Yelf - bwl 76 Spring 2015) |
