Olympic gold medalist. Two-time world heavyweight champion. Hall of
Famer. Infomercial and reality TV star. George Foreman’s fighting
ability is matched only by his acumen for selling. Yet the complete
story of Foreman’s rise from urban poverty to global celebrity
has never been told until now. Raised in Houston’s “Bloody
Fifth” Ward, battling against scarcity in housing and food, young
Foreman fought sometimes for survival and other times just for fun.
But when a government program rescued him from poverty and
introduced him to the sport of boxing, his life changed forever. In
No Way but to Fight, Andrew R. M. Smith traces Foreman’s life and
career from the Great Migration to the Great Society, through the
Cold War and culture wars, out of urban Houston and onto the world
stage where he discovered that fame brought new challenges. Drawing
on new interviews with George Foreman and declassified government
documents, as well as more than fifty domestic and international
newspapers and magazines, Smith brings to life the exhilarating
story of a true American icon. No Way but to Fight is an epic
worthy of a champion.
