1.Gorgeous George: The Outrageous Bad-Boy Wrestler Who Created American Pop CultureGorgeous George: The Outrageous Bad-Boy Wrestler Who Created American Pop Culture
from HarperEntertainment
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, professional wrestling and Gorgeous George went hand in perfumed hand. It was the ultimate "match made in heaven" and the budding television industry couldn't get enough of this bender of rules and purveyor of sniff. Due to his enormous success, Gorgeous George may... more info

3.King of the World: Muhammed Ali and the Rise of an American HeroKing of the World: Muhammed Ali and the Rise of an American Hero
from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
When boxing mattered, boxers were more than pugilists trying to break each other's wills; they were symbols that attracted the attention and aspirations of the masses. Like gladiators in Rome, these courageous men allow us to project our hopes, fears, and insecurities.
David Remnick tells the... more info

4.The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life s JourneyThe Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
This beautiful summary of Ali's life is not just a gift to his kids but to all of America as well. In his own simple words, Ali shares with us his greatest triumphs and his worse agonies. It is all done with the same Ali, verve, upbeat spirit, and of course with smatterings of his homespun poetry.... more info

5.[no image]The Fight
from Little Brown

Customer Review:
If ever two egos needed to meet, these were the two. Only Norman Mailer could've made a Muhammad Ali-centered event like "The Rumble In The Jungle" so much about himself. And yet in his way, Mailer makes one want to read and re-read every page. He crafts a tale that makes it easy to sense the chaos... more info

6.My View from the CornerMy View from the Corner
from McGraw-Hill
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
An execrable job of juvenile and intrusive overwriting by "as told to" writer Bert Sugar. On the other hand, Dundee's likeability comes through as does some very good stories. The best of those, of course, concern Ali, Frazier, and Foreman, the three great boxers of the latter third of the 20th... more info

7.[no image]Release the Sun
from Baha'i Pub. Trust

Customer Review:
At barely thirty, he seemed so young to die. He appeared helpless and gentle, yet confident; a look of contentment on his face as he gazed calmly into the hostile barrels of 750 cocked rifles in the public square in Tabriz, Persia on July 9, 1850. In 1844 there had been great excitement over the... more info

8.Ali RapAli Rap
from Taschen
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
This is a fun, quick read that is, more than anything else, a collection of memories created by one of Ali's closest friends. By that I mean it feels very much like a scrapbook put together by a loved one.
George Lois went through many of Ali's biggest skirmishes, both in and out of the ring,... more info

9.Muhammad Ali: His Life and TimesMuhammad Ali: His Life and Times
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
I first really watched an Ali fight as a boy. Ali was fighting his second comeback fight against the Argentine brawler Oscar Bonavena. It was a gruelling 15 round fight. It was on ABC, and Howard Cosell made it sound much more dramatic than it actually was. It was competitive, but Ali was winning... more info

10.Ghosts of Manila: The Fateful Blood Feud Between Muhammad Ali and Joe FrazierGhosts of Manila: The Fateful Blood Feud Between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier
from Harper Paperbacks
Price: $12.55

Customer Review:
"Ghosts of Manila," is an absolute masterpiece. Not only does Kram deconstruct the Ali myth, he humanizes him. He also treats Joe Frazier in a way no one else has. Warts and all, Frazier emerges as a man of great dignity if not always dignified. This book has influenced my own writing. It is full of... more info
