Ali: A Life

Ali: A Life by Jonathan Eig. Very interesting story of one of the most interesting and controversial people of the 20th century. This seems to be a very well researched book. Mr. Eig appears to have had access to many people still living who knew Ali. He weaves in the civil rights situation of the 60s and 70s to show how Ali fit into and shaped that period of history. I did have to stop reading this before the actual end of the book. The final chapters of Ali's life were too sad to read about, and it was better to just think of the young Ali and his amazing energy. He was the greatest!
