NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Winner of the 2018 PEN/ESPN Award for
Literary Sports Writing Winner of The Times Sports Biography of the
Year The definitive biography of an American icon, from a
best-selling author with unique access to Ali's inner circle. "As
Muhammad Ali's life was an epic of a life so Ali: A Life is an epic
of a biography . . . for pages in succession its narrative reads
like a novel--a suspenseful novel with a cast of vivid characters."
-- Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times Book Review Muhammad Ali was
born Cassius Clay in racially segregated Louisville, Kentucky, the
son of a sign painter and a housekeeper. He went on to become a
heavyweight boxer with a dazzling mix of power and speed, a warrior
for racial pride, a comedian, a preacher, a poet, a draft resister,
an actor, and a lover. Millions hated him when he changed his
religion, changed his name, and refused to fight in the Vietnam
War. He fought his way back, winning hearts, but at great cost.
Jonathan Eig, hailed by Ken Burns as one of America's master
storytellers, sheds important new light on Ali's politics,
religion, personal life, and neurological condition through
unprecedented access to all the key people in Ali's life, more than
500 interviews and thousands of pages of previously unreleased FBI
and Justice Department files and audiotaped interviews from the
1960s. Ali: A Life is a story about America, about race, about a
brutal sport, and about a courageous man who shook up the world.
