    Book, 1st ed, Random House, 1998
  • Description

He changed the world of sports and went on to change the world itself. And, to the confusion and fury of white sportswriters, who were far more comfortable with the self-effacing Joe Louis, Clay came forward as a rebel, insistent on his political views, on his new religion, and, eventually, on a new name.
