A Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Rahaman has, at last, written the
definitive biography on his late brother, which tells the real Ali
story' - Mike Tyson 'The real life of the Great One' - George
Foreman More words have been written about Muhammad Ali than almost
anyone else. He was, without doubt, the world's most-loved
sportsman. At the height of his celebrity he was the most famous
person in the world. And yet, until now, the one voice missing
belonged to the man who knew him best - his only sibling, and best
friend, Rahaman Ali. No one was closer to Ali than Rahaman. Born
Cassius and Rudolph Arnett Clay, the two brothers grew up together,
lived together, trained together, travelled together, and fought
together in the street and in the ring. A constant fixture in his
sibling's company, Rahaman saw Ali at both his best and his worst:
the relentless prankster and the jealous older brother, the
outspoken advocate, the husband and father. In My Brother, Muhammad
Ali, he is able to offer a surprising insider's perspective on the
well-known stories, as well as never-before-told tales, painting a
rich portrait of a proud, relentlessly polarizing, yet often
vulnerable man. In this extraordinary, poignant memoir, Rahaman
tells a much bigger and more personal story than in any other book
on the great man - that of two brothers, almost inseparable from
birth to death. It is the final and most important perspective on
one of the most iconic figures of the last century.
