Book summaryMemorable, and some very sad, anecdotes on the boxing world in England and the United States by a British journalist.Media Reviews"Rendall reaches areas that the common run of boxing writers never dreamt of approaching....A genuinely original contribution to sporting literature." -- London Times "[Rendall] can certainly write....He has produced an unsentimental book about boxing that should become a minor classic." -- Daily Telegraph (London) Publisher NotesFittingly, it is in Las Vegas, boxing's capital, that author Jonathan Rendall, a young British boxing enthusiast, reflects on his own exit from the boxing scene. What unfolds is the true story of his boyhood romance with the sport, his canny coming-of-age as a boxing writer, and his risky bid to bring the unknown Colin "Sweet C" McMillan to the World Featherweight Championship. Written with the detachment of a seasoned journalist, Jonathan Rendall has produced an uncommon sports memoir about having the faith and losing the faith. Intelligent and funny, This Bloody Mary Is the Last Thing I Own is a boxing book with appeal that extends well beyond the ring. Other Recommended Books
