At the pinnacle of his boxing career during the 1960s and early 1970s, Muhammad Ali seemed to be a cultural symbol of the times. He has been viewed by some as a hero and by others as a rebel, but either way he is arguably the most famous American in the world. In this volume, Ali's life is described from his birth to the present, with an emphasis on his career through 1975. The work covers such topics as his various boxing matches including The Thrilla in Manilla, his religious conversion to the Nation of Islam, the Vietnam War, and his efforts to promote world peace.

Review

“Edmonds paints a vivid picture of the great cultural symbol Muhammad Ali from his birth to the present, with an emphasis on his boxing career from 1954 through 1975. This volume includes his religious conversion to Islam, the Vietnam War, and Ali's efforts to promote world peace, and is written with sensitivity as well as honesty. Young people are introduced to Ali as he is today, and they will learn about his struggles, but also his determination to live a good life.” ―MultiCultural Review

“[M]uhammad Ali: A Biography remains an important overview of his life and importance, covering his life from birth through his career up to 1974. From descriptions of his various boxing matches to his long fall and exile, Muhammad Ali covers the extent of his stormy and notable life.” ―The Midwest Book Review - California Bookwatch

5.0 out of 5 stars A bio of the controversial sports figure
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2006
At the height of his boxing career Muhammad Ali also served as a symbol of his times: a hero to some, a controversial sports figure to others. He's one of the best-known sports figures in America even today, so MUHAMMAD ALI: A BIOGRAPHY remains an important overview of his life and importance, covering his life from birth through his career up to 1974. From descriptions of his various boxing matches to his long fall and exile, MUHAMMAD ALI covers the extent of his stormy and notable life.

I think the author did a good job in offering a quick guide into the life of Muhammad Ali. Helpful timeline. There a few mistakes but they don't detract from the book. Ali is a very interesting and complex person. This book gives a glimpse or overview of his life. The bibliography with it's many sources is also very helpful as a supplement.
