If any man defined his times--turbulent, painful, wild times--it was Ali, and Tischler shows us how and why. -Elliott Gorn, author of The Manly Art and co-author of A Brief History of American Sports (with Warren Goldstein) With a balanced mix of primary sources and secondary literature, Barbara Tischler has written an accessible and approachable account about the greatest athlete of this generation, Muhammad Ali.
