Once in a while there comes along a story so powerful and so
emotive that it makes you re-think your own values. This is the
story of Nathan Shapow, a young Latvian, born in Riga, with nothing
more on his mind than becoming a world-renowned boxer. However, the
sound of jackboots marching across Europe and the systematic
extermination of the Jews put paid to his boxing dreams. He was to
fight a different sort of fight, one for survival. The prize? His
life. Seeing his youth disappear in the squalor of the ghettos and
the horror of the camps, Nathan fell back on his previous existence
to sustain him. The years of training, the running, the speed work,
the three-round amateur fights in the gym, the street fights in
Riga and the sheer competitive nature he developed saved him on
more than one occasion, especially when he was forced to box for
his life against a top German fighter in a concentration camp. THE
BOXER'S STORY is an extraordinary and powerful true story that
reads like a thriller. It will deeply affect everyone who reads it.
