When Boxing Was a Jewish Sport
ISBN: 9781438436081 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Boxing was an integral part of American culture during the first half of the twentieth century, second only to baseball in popularity.

Drawing on numerous interviews and first-person accounts of the boxers themselves, Allen Bodner offers a vivid portrayal of the important role of Jews in American boxing history, and vice versa. When Boxing Was a Jewish Sport is a must-read for fans of the sweet science, as well as...

Ray Arcel: A Boxing Biography
ISBN: 9780786469680 / Angielski / Miękka / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Without Ray Arcel (1899-1994), the 20th century world of boxing would have been markedly different. The credibility of it as a sport would have been greatly lessened.

From Benny Leonard to Roberto Duran and Larry Holmes, Arcel stood in the corner for champions of every weight division that existed in his lifetime, a record that remains unequalled. This biography chronicles Arcel's life inside the ring--and outside, where he was a highly secretive man who maintained...
