Ali, Paperback/Russell Routledge

From the author of film-optioned Muhammad Ali Tyneside 1972 comes this exploration of an overlooked chapter in the Muhammad Ali story - the tension-wrought fight between Ali and 'White Hope' Jerry Quarry in a racially-charged Atlanta, early 1970. The beginnings of Ali's entwinement with the city in which he would lift the Olympic flame 26 years later are narrated authoritatively here.
