Hirsch, Houghton

$38.95 pages

The life of Rubin
“Hurricane” Carter has
undergone more scrutiny
than a presidential candidate
might endure. His story has
been elevated to legendary
status, the subject of books,
a hit song, and now a fea-
ture length film.

Rubin Carter and John
Artis were victims of an

injustice that is mind-numb- .

ing in its scope. Faisely con-
victed of’ a crime they did
not commit, they were
forced to spend the best’
part of their adult lives in

jail. Carter refused to accept
his role as prisoner and
rebelled against the system
which imprisoned him. For
twenty-two years Carter's
fife was controlled by the
state which had wrongly
convicted him.

Hirsck has produced in
this authorized biography, a
detailed but very readable
book which chronicles one
man’s fight for freedom
against seemingly insur-
mountable odds. A combi-
nation of devoted friends,
celebrity status, superhuman
determination and luck
brought Carter to eventual
freedom. His journey
through the labyrinth of the
legal system, the toll it
exacted on him and those
involved, the look inside the
prison are all presented in

fascinating detail. Hirsch
gives an honest portrait of a
man who refused to give up,
a man not without flaws

who was forced to look deep -

Hirsch has done a
temarkable job at sifting
through the thousands of
pages of legal arguments to
present the key points of the
development of Carter's
fight. His extensive inter-
views and quotes provide
insight into every aspect of
the case. He has made acces-
sible an incredible story, and
in the process written an
excellent book.

Ringside by John Miller
and Aaron Kenedi,
Bulfinch Press, 128 pages,
$41

“I am the greatest! I
shook np the world! I don’t
have a mark on my face! I’m
pretty! I’m a bad man!” So
said Ali after winning the
heavyweight tide for the
first time. That was in 1964
and Ali went on to prove he

was no big mouth with
good footwork. This year
Sports Illustrated magazine
agreed with him when they
named him greatest athlete
of the century.

Muhammad Ali: Ringside

is a fascinating look at this
remarkable man. The book
is filled with photos from his
big fights and great memo-
rabilia such as fight posters,
tickets even the X-ray of his
jaw after Ken Norton broke
it. Ringside is also a great
read. There are four essays:
from Alex Haley, Norman
Mailer, Joyce Carol Oates
and Peter Richmond, exam-
ining the decades from the
60s to the "90s.
Interspersed throughout the
entire book are quotes from
fighters, writers, Ali and
more.

This book offers a sum-
mary of the career of a man
who definitely talked the
talk and walked the walk.
The greatest.
