BRITISH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR. SHORTLISTED FOR
THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 2017. SHORTLISTED
FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR.WINNER OF THE
PEN/ESPN AWARD FOR LITERARY SPORTS WRITING. THE TIMES SPORTS BOOK
AWARDS BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR. The most comprehensive and definitive
biography of Muhammad Ali that has ever been published, based on
more than 500 interviews with those who knew him best, with many
dramatic new discoveries about his life and career.When the frail,
trembling figure of Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta
in 1996, a TV audience of up to 3 billion people was once again
gripped by the story of the world's most famous sporting icon. The
man who had once been reviled for his refusal to fight for his
country and for his fast-talking denunciation of his opponents was
now almost universally adored, the true cost of his astonishing
boxing career clear to see. In Jonathan Eig's ground-breaking
biography, backed up with much detailed new research specially
commissioned for this book, we get a stunning portrait of one of
the most significant personalities of the second half of the
twentieth century.We are not only taken inside the ring for some of
the most famous bouts in boxing history, we also learn about his
personal life, his finances, his faith and the moments when the
first signs of his physical decline began to show. Ali was a symbol
of freedom and courage, a hero to many, but this is also a very
personal story of a warrior who vanquished every opponent but was
finally brought down by his own stubborn refusal to quit. An epic
tale of a fighter who became the world's most famous pacifist, Ali:
A Life does full justice to an extraordinary man.'Ali: A Life is
the business - 640 pages of patient scholarship and intelligent
reassessment written in crackly prose' Giles Smith, The Times '[A]
richly researched, sympathetic yet unsparing portrait ... Ali: A
Life is an epic of a biography' Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times
