King of the World: Muhammad Ali and the Rise of an American Hero by David Remnick There were mythic sports figures before him -- Jack Johnson, Babe Ruth, Joe Louis, Joe DiMaggio -- but when Cassius Clay burst onto the sports scene from his native Louisville in the 1950s, he broke the mold. He changed the world of sports and went on to change the world itself. As Muhammad Ali, he would become the most recognized face on the planet. This unforgettable story of his rise and self-creation, told by a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, places Ali in a heritage of great American originals.
