Notes

Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times by Thomas Hauser is a comprehensive biography that chronicles the life of one of the most iconic and influential athletes of the 20th century. The book explores Ali’s journey from his early days as Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, to his rise as a heavyweight boxing champion known for his speed, charisma, and poetic trash talk. Beyond the ring, it delves into his conversion to Islam, his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War, and his role as a global figure of resistance, pride, and humanitarianism. Drawing from hundreds of interviews with those who knew Ali personally, Hauser presents a vivid and intimate portrait of a complex man who transcended sports to become a symbol of courage, conviction, and transformation.
