"Named the best sports book of all time by Sports Illustrated in 2002, The Sweet Science offers a lively and idiosyncratic portrait of boxing in the early 1950s that encompasses boastful managers, veteran trainers, wily cornermen, and the fighters themselves: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Archie Moore, 'a virtuoso of anachronistic perfection.' No one has captured the fierce artistry of the ring like Liebling. (Pete Hamill) . 306 pp.
Condition: Very good in black boards in a good only dust jacket (creasing at edges, rubbing at folds, original price of 3.95 on flap)
