Synopsis
From early 1973 through the summer of 1974, Victor Bockris visited Muhammad Ali in his private training camp, Fighter's Heaven, when he was preparing for the "Rumble in the Jungle." Bockris was able to get an unprecedented view of Ali's persona outside the boxing ring. Presented here are generous helpings of Ali's unique poetry, and insightful glimpses into his feelings on race relations, Muslim principles, and family values. Ali said himself of this book, "These are some of the things I don't reveal to the public too much."

Review
Bockris allows Ali to speak for himself.... This is a portrait that goes beyond the myth-making. (G. Q.)
An intriguing companion to the documentary When We Were Kings.... Bockris paints a vivid picture of what it was like to spend extended time with Ali. (Financial Times)
An intimate, personal view. (Esquire)
