With an introduction by Salman Rushdie and an afterword by the
author. It was the night of February 25, 1964. A cloud of cigar
smoke drifted through the ring lights. Cassius Clay threw punches
into the gray floating haze and waited for the bell. When Cassius
Clay burst onto the sports scene in the 1950s, he broke the mould.
He changed the world of sports and went on to change the world
itself: from his early fights as Cassius Clay, the young, wiry man
from Louisville, unwilling to play the noble and grateful warrior
in a white world, to becoming Muhammad Ali, the voice of black
America and the most recognized face on the planet. King of the
World is the story of an incredible rise to power, a book of
battles fought inside the ring and out. With grace and power,
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Remnick tells of a transcendent
athlete and entertainer, a rapper before rap was born. Ali was a
mirror of his era, a dynamic figure in the racial and cultural
clashes of his time and King of the World is a classic piece of
non-fiction and a book worthy of America's most dynamic modern
hero.
