Muhammad Ali was photographed as intensely as any athlete of the twentieth century, and this volume tells his story chiefly through those images.
Pictures run from the young Cassius Clay through the championship years and the decades of public life that followed, with captions supplying context rather than extended narrative. The result is a biography that works by accumulation, showing the fighter, the speaker and the public figure side by side, and giving the boxing career its place within a much larger cultural record.
The shape of the book:
• A photographic biography of Muhammad Ali published by Parragon Books
• Images spanning his early career through his later public life
• Captions provide context alongside the photography
• Presentation suited to browsing, display or gifting
A good choice for boxing followers, sports history readers and anyone drawn to photographic biography, available from Boipoka.
