Title: Manages to both entertain and educate in an enjoyable manner
Review: Head and shoulders the best and most balanced of the numerous Ali biographies I have read, this book - like the man himself - transcends sport. Remnick is a master communicator in print who delves deeply into the culture and times of the early sixties to present a unique tale of the man who defied the establishment - both white and black - and ultimately indeed became "King of the World". This book is really three biographies in one, with the stories of Charles "Sonny" Liston and Floyd Patterson, although as in life overshadowed by Ali, still fascinating in their own way. This book manages to both entertain and educate in a most enjoyable manner. What more can you ask?
