About This Item
Binghamton,NY: Casey Press, 2004. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 323 pages. An in-depth, generously illustrated, history of the "Great White Hope" prizefight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries held in Reno,NV on July 4, 1910. Never once did the men shake hands, and their fight so galvanized the nation that after Johnson lost the title, more than twenty years would pass before another black man would be permitted to contend for boxing's top prize. "America On The Ropes" tells the story of this famous prizefight and serves as a disturbing reflection of a nation still struggling with the failure of reconstruction and unwilling to come to terms with its promise of freedom and justice for all.
