The Lost Legacy of Muhammad Ali
The Lost Legacy of Muhammad Ali is Thomas Hauser's companion volume to his seminal 1991 work, Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, a biography hailed as "incomparable" by The New York Times, "a considerable achievement" by the Wall Street Journal, and "simply magnificent" by the Boston Globe. Fourteen years later, Hauser believes that Ali remains a transcendental figure in American life. But in recent years, Ali has been packaged and repackaged and the reasons for his importance, as well as the electrifying nature of his persona, have been obscured in a fog of revisionism.
