Synopsis
In 1974 in Kinshasa, ZaĂŻre, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible âprofessor of boxing.â The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fightersâ moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailerâs grasp of the titanic battleâs feints and stratagemsâand his sensitivity to their deeper symbolismâmakes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport.
