The survivor of a difficult childhood and youth, Rubin Carter rose
to become a top contender for the middleweight boxing crown. But
his career crashed to a halt on May 26, 1967, when he and another
man were found guilty of the murder of three white people in a New
Jersey bar. While in prison, Carter chronicled the events that led
him from the ring to three consecutive life sentences and 10 years
in solitary confinement. His story was a cry for help to the
public, an attempt to set the record straight and force a new
trial. Bob Dylan wrote a classic anthem for Carter's struggle; and
Joan Baez, Muhammad Ali, Roberta Flack, and thousands more took up
the cause as well. Originally published in 1974, this account is an
eye-opening examination of growing up black in America, problems in
the United States prison system, and Carter's own battles.
