King of the World: Muhammad Ali and the Rise of an American Hero

The bestselling biography of Muhammad Ali--with an Introduction by Salman RushdieOn the night in 1964 that Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) stepped into the ring with Sonny Liston, he was widely regarded as an irritating freak who danced and talked way too much.

He got there with his fists, with his actions, and above all, with his words.     Compiled and written by his daughter Hana Ali, with sportswriter Danny Peary, Ali on Ali brings together a remarkable mix of Ali’s 70 most humorous, poignant, inspirational, political, an...

Black is Best: The Riddle of Cassius Clay

Before he was Muhammad Ali, there was the riddle of Cassius Clay. Jack Olsen's book on Clay was called one of the best sports biographies of all time by the editors of Sports Illustrated.Although perhaps the world's best known athlete, Cassius Clay is far more important as an American phenomenon of the 1960's than as a prizefighter. In his career as a boxer, he followed a traditional, even a stereotyped road to the top for a Negro, but his distortion of the American rags-to-riches story is peculiarly his own. When he defeated Sonny Liston for the world's heavyweight championship in 1964, he wa... [Read More]

He told the officer he was going to "whup" the thief. The officer told him he had better learn how to box first. Initially, Clay did not take up on Martin'... [Read More]
