Good Summary of Ali's life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Muhammad Ali : Biography (Hardcover)
Mr. Stravinsky writes a decent biography of Ali, although some details of his personal life could have been covered in a little more detail. More coverage of his first three marriages, early years and gradual conversion to the Nation of Islam come to mind. Don't let this dissuade you from reading this nice little tome. I think it gives just enough information to pique ones curiosity into buying a more detailed work. The bibliography in the back of the book will give you some good choices. As a boxing fan, I found the detailed coverage of the boxing matches especially interesting. Highly recommended for those who wish to discover more about a diverse and interesting life.

A good book which could have been made better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Muhammad Ali : Biography (Hardcover)
I found the book to give not much insight compared to others previously written about "The Greatest". A good book for starters but not for serious Ali fans.
