by Mike Marqusee - £12.99 Verso Books (2017)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9781786632425 | ISBN 10: 178663242x
In this timely antidote to the apolitical celebration of Muhammad Ali as "a great American", Mike Marqusee puts the boxer back in his true historical context to explore a crucial moment at the crossroads of popular culture and mass resistance. And, in an afterword for this second edition, he reflects on Ali's legacy in the era of the "war on terror".
"Among the slew of recent Ali books, here's one that returns the political sting to 'The Greatest'... As Marqusee portrays him, Ali is still the righteous outlaw, as badass as ever and still in the eye of a global storm."
