The Greatest

Ok; so maybe you've heard some of these stories before. Maybe you have not. This is a good book on Ali. The way the book is layed out, the photos and stories are presented well. It's a cool looking book. The pictures alone are worth a look! Buy it you'll like it. ALI IS STILL THE GREATEST!!!!

Stunning photos and essays

So I am a big fan of radical sportswriter Dave Zirin and his book did not disappoint. More than his essays and interviews on Ali, I was blown away by the color and black and white photos. Ali at a Palestinian rights demo? It's here. Ali with Martin Luther King? Malcolm X? It's here. Original interviews with Bob Lipsyte, Etan Thomas, and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad? It's here. My only minor complaint is that the serious SERIOUS Ali fan will know many of the stories Zirin tells. But others will be blown away. A rather remarkable - and affordabe - hardcover book, it's everything the $10,000 GOAT book should have been.
