520    "The definitive biography of an American icon, from a New 
       York Times best-selling author with unique access to Ali's
       inner circle. He was the wittiest, the prettiest, the 
       strongest, the bravest, and, of course, the greatest (as 
       he told us over and over again). Muhammad Ali was one of 
       the twentieth century's greatest radicals and most 
       compelling figures. At his funeral in 2016, eulogists said
       Ali had transcended race and united the country, but they 
       got it wrong. Race was the theme of Ali's life. He 
       insisted that America come to grips with a black man who 
       wasn't afraid to speak out or break the rules. He didn't 
       overcome racism. He called it out. "I am America," he once
       declared. "I am the part you won't recognize. But get used
       to me--black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my 
       religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me." 
       Ali went from being one of the most despised men in the 
       country to one of the most beloved. But until now, he has 
       never been the subject of a complete, unauthorized 
       biography. Jonathan Eig, hailed by Ken Burns as one of 
       America's master storytellers, breaks new ground and 
       radically reshapes our understanding of the slippery 
       figure who was Muhammad Ali. Eig had access to all the key
       people in Ali's life, including his three surviving wives 
       and his managers. He also had access to thousands of pages
       of new FBI and Justice Department files, as well dozens of
       hours of newly discovered audiotaped interviews from the 
       1960s. Jonathan Eig's Ali breaks bold new ground, 
       revealing Ali in the complexity he deserves, shedding 
       important new light on his politics and his neurological 
       condition. Ali is a story about race, about a brutal sport,
       and about a fascinating man who shook up the world"--

520    "Based on more than 500 interviews, including Muhammad 
       Ali's closest associates, and enhanced by access to 
       thousands of pages of newly released FBI records, this is 
       a thrilling story of a man who became one of the great 
       figures of the twentieth century."--|cProvided by
