Over twenty years ago, Donald McRae set out across the United States and his adopted home, Britain, to find deeper meaning in the brutal trade that had transfixed him since he was a young man. The result is a stunning chronicle that captures not only McRae's compelling personal journey through the world of professional prizefighting, but also the stories of some of its biggest names in boxing--James Toney, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Roy Jones, Jr., and others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSingular in his ability to uncover the emotional forces that drive men to get into the ring, McRae brilliantly exposes the hopes and fears and obsessions of these legendary fighters, while revealing some of his own along the way. What he shares with them most, he comes to realize, is that he is hopelessly, and willingly, lost in boxing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroduction \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e1 The Baddest Man \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e2 The Force \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e3 This Is Boxing, Baby \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e4 Oscar's Night \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e5 The King and the Prince \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e6 Guns and Fathers \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e7 Looking on Darkness \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e8 Death and the Man \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e9 The Cinderella Men \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e10 The Soldier Boy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e11 Nothing Is Forever \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e12 The Beacon \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e13 The Bite \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e14 Fading Away \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e15 Still Lost in Boxing \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcknowledgments","brand":"Hamilcar Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46864649978007,"sku":"9781949590050","price":4226.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781949590050.webp?v=1769975150","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dark-trade-lost-in-boxing-9781949590050","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
