'This book is not an attempt to mythologise Ali. It's an effort to show him as he was and is: a superb human being with good qualities and flaws. In his twenties, he was arguably the greatest fighter of all time. But more importantly he reflected and shaped the social and political currents of the age in which he reigned.' Author's preface.
