Famous Lives series by Jason Hook presents Muhammad Ali, The Greatest:

When a 12 year old boy had his new bicycle stolen, he decided to take up boxing so he could "beat-up" the thief. This same boy grew up to become the greatest boxing legend the world has ever know.

This book tells more than the story of a handsome black sporting hero. It tells the story of Muhammad Ali, the man who stood up for what he believed was right - whether that was fighting for racial equality or protesting against war. It reveals a charming and courageous man who, despite illness and rejection by the establishment, has earned the respect of millions of people around the world.
