On the plane back to NYC, I thought, 'If that's what George is doing, I wonder what the rest of his opponents are up to?'

It is a detailed map of the personal journey of one whose incomparable talents and audacity caused literati to swoon, taught a generation to question authority, and ultimately altered the path of a society which had never before seen a man exactly like him. To look at him the way he was then is to remember, with joy and sorrow, who we all once were.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Lampley, discusing the cover image (Boxing commentator, HBO Sports) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acc Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45029824757911,"sku":"9781788840187","price":3177.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788840187.webp?v=1769204650","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/they-must-fall-muhammad-ali-and-the-men-he-fought-9781788840187","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
