In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. 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. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC. Ali redefined what it meant to be an athlete by giving hope to millions around the world and inspiring us all to fight for what is important to us. This is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali only he could render: sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; outrageous showman and gracious goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur; an irresistible force to be reckoned with. Who better to tell the tale than the man who went the distance living it?

The best way to get a true account is to go to the source....and here is the definitive biography by The Man himself. Ali recounts his life and career, proving his talent for "poetry" was no fluke: he is a gifted writer. One can mourn the world's loss of this compassionate, driven, devout and determined individual as you read....Ali reveals his deepest secrets and explains his motivations with a level of depth and feeling even beyond his powerful and legendary feats in the ring. This man came of age in an era where his complexion closed doors and humanity's worst prejudices were wreaked out on him and fought his way, in and out of the ring, to the highest achievement his sport could bestow. He represented his country as an athlete and diplomat, yet his country failed him at a time when his insight and compassion were needed the most. Ali could never be a traitor...his steadfast devotion to his faith and determination not to commit violence upon his fellow humans represented what is best about the United States.The reader follows Ali through his success at the Olympic Games, his rise through the ranks of professional boxing, and the cruel and unjust revocation of his championship title due to his stand as a Conscientious Objector during the Vietnam War, his legal battle, his training and return to the boxing crown despite his enforced absence of years from the ring. Ali's prose is at times proud, wistful, angry, humorous - no athlete before or since has possessed Ali's wicked wit - and frustrated. He describes his battles for the championship with stars such as Joe Frazier and George Foreman so vividly you live it with him. The grit, the pain, the determination, the exultation are all the reader's to experience.
