Commentary In Favor Of Books Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times

Thirty years after he burst onto the scene as a gold medal light-heavyweight at the Rome Olympics, Muhammad Ali is still a magical figure. His accomplishments in the ring were the stuff of legend -- the two fights with Sonny Liston, when he proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and proved he was; the three epic wars against Joe Frazier; the stunning victory over George Foreman in Zaire; and the shocking loss and final win that made him the first man to win back the heavyweight crown twice, fourteen years after he had first claimed it. Ali's life has been played out as much on the front pages as on the sports pages. With brilliant immediacy and unprecedented candor, bestselling author Thomas Hauser recreates this extraordinary man. In the words of more than 200 of Ali's family members, opponents, friends, world leaders, and others who have known him best, the real Muhammad Ali emerges: deeply religious, mercurial, generous, a showman in and out of the ring.

Judgment Epithetical Books Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times

This was a cracking read.Sure, there are flaws - it definitely goes soft on Ali on a few things: his strict adherence to Elijah Muhammad, at a time where the Nation of Islam was preaching strict segregation (Ali converted to Sunni Islam in the 70s and now practices Sufism); his philandering; his attitude to Ernie Terrell and especially Joe Frazier. That said, I don't believe we'd have the range of voices in this book, without the overall positive approach and tone that the author has brought to

Muhammad Ali is a legend, not only in America, for being a great athlete, and a black celebrity-who took a stance on the Vietnam war- but also in the Muslim world and in Africa. This is so, because his accomplishments were a source of pride, for both groups, in a post colonial world, when Ali surfaced on the world stage. Ali was once the most famous man alive, without a shadow of doubt. The younger global crowd may not know him today, but back in his day, even the village folks in the Arab

13 days and 515 pages later I feel like it has been a true privilege to have read this book for all it, and Muhammad Ali, has revealed to me about strength, about heart, about perseverance, about humility, about confidence, about respect, commitment, principle, pride, generosity, humanity, spirituality, and love. Hauser did an extensive job of capturing all of the different perspectives on Ali's boxing career (from the smallest fights to the Thrilla in Manila), personal life, spirituality, and

Twenty pages into this Christmas present I realise that it is one of the books about Ali that I read twenty years ago or more. So what. It's a fine book and I like the story, so I read it all again...reliving part of my own life along the way.

I have always loved Muhammad Ali growing up. It was interesting reading about him as an adult. I liked the format of the book, filled with interviews and comments from all different people in Ali's life; including Ali himself and his family. He sounds by all accounts a generous, very religious and humble man behind the scenes. He was smart about marketing himself and using bravado in order to rouse curiosity in people so they wanted to come watch his fights. Luckily he was a very gifted boxer to

It's lack of faith which makes people afraid of meeting challenges.I bought the book in an attempt to understand Ali's influence on the Nation of Islam movement in the US. His role as a Muslim hero among the Muslim population outside US was never in question. Most non-US Muslims are not aware that Nation of Islam has its own prophets which is blasphemous notion among traditional Muslims.Cassius Clay's conversion to Muhammad Ali is covered in great detail. The style does become cumbersome

A sacred text.
