With telling detail, Remnick captures the drama, danger, beauty, and ugliness of a generation's worth of big heavyweight fights' Bob Costa Of course David Remnick sheds light on these subjects, but where King of the World really shines is in the ring itself. 'By now we all have our notions about what Ali meant - to his time and to the history of his sport. so vivid that one can imagine Ali saying, 'How'd you get inside my head, boy?'' Time an important account of a period in American social history' Chicago Tribune

as a starburst of energy, ego and ability whose like will never be seen again' Wall Street Journal 'Succeeds more than any previous book in bringing Ali into focus. A master storyteller at the height of his powers, David Remnick has written a book worthy of America's most dynamic moden hero.

King of the World takes us back to the days when his life was a series of battles, inside the ring and out. It is a study of the rise of the black voice in the American consciousness and a look at how the media creates its heroes - Cassius Clay began as a 'light-hitting loudmouth' before becoming gradually canonized by the American press and public as Muhammad Ali. Remnick then describes Clay's 1964 fight with Liston, which even his own people thought Clay couldn't win, and takes us through to 1967 when Ali refused the military draft to Vietnam. The book begins in September 1962 with the fight between Floyd Patteson and Sonny Liston, providing a remarkable sociological backdrop to Ali's entrance on the boxing scene. This unforgettable account of Muhammad Ali's rise and self-creation, told by a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, places Ali in a heritage of great American originals.ĭavid Remnick concentrates on Ali's early career, when he was still fighting as Cassius Clay.
