NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | Winner of the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing | Winner of The Times Sports Biography of the Year | The definitive biography of an American icon, from a best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author with unique access to Ali’s inner circle.
"Finally Muhammad Ali has a biography as big, complex, and memorable as the man himself." —T.J. Stiles, author of Custer's Trials and The First Tycoon
Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay in racially segregated Louisville, Kentucky, the son of a sign painter and a housekeeper. He went on to become a heavyweight boxer with a dazzling mix of power and speed, a warrior for racial pride, a comedian, a preacher, a poet, a draft resister, an actor, and a lover. Millions hated him when he changed his religion, changed his name, and refused to fight in the Vietnam War. He fought his way back, winning hearts, but at great cost.
Jonathan Eig, hailed by Ken Burns as one of America’s master storytellers, sheds important new light on Ali’s politics, religion, personal life, and neurological condition through unprecedented access to all the key people in Ali’s life, more than 500 interviews and thousands of pages of previously unreleased FBI and Justice Department files and audiotaped interviews from the 1960s. Ali: A Life is a story about America, about race, about a brutal sport, and about a courageous man who shook up the world.
“As Muhammad Ali’s life was an epic of a life so Ali: A Life is an epic of a biography . . . for pages in succession its narrative reads like a novel––a suspenseful novel with a cast of vivid characters.” –– Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times Book Review

Float like a butterfly...
Ali is still the greatest of all times and who doubts it will never understand the art of boxing. Defeating Sonny Liston at the age of 22, the heavy weight champion no one wanted to match, defeating the younger and more athletic Joe Frazier and defeating George Foreman in the epic Rumble in the Jungle, no one came close to Ali's inspiring sports career. But Muhammad Ali's life was so much more than just the sport. He was one of the leading men in the Civil Rights Movement, a good friend of Malcolm X and a pioneer of Black Pride. Jonathan Eig, who by the way writes amazing biographies, did his research. A wonderful book, perfect not only for boxing fans but also for everyone.
