Synopsis

Muhammad Ali has proved to be one of the most charismatic and compelling figures of the last century. Voted Sports Personality of the Century in 1999, he has towered over his generation, both in the ring and out of it. This incredible story of Muhammad Ali was first published in 1975. A quarter of a century on, Ali remains a legend in his own lifetime. The Glory Years is based on exhaustive interviews with Ali's friends, family and associates, now extensively updated to bring his story into the 21st century. It revisits his fantastic reign and celebrates his life, both in the ring and out, with a stunning collection of photographs taken over the last fifty years. Some are being published here for the first time ever, with a silver printing process that makes this book a truly unique volume and a fitting celebration of a glorious reign.
