Best boxing autobiography I have ever read.
This is a man caught between two worlds at war, whilst maintaining a solid boxing record and even defeating Joe Louis in the process. Great read.

One of the best sports books I've ever read. It's also a fascinating look at Berlin in the 20's and 30's. His description of his first fight with Joe Lewis is riveting.
