Only in America: The Life and Crimes of Don King

If Don King were a city, he'd be Las Vegas: flamboyant, money-driven, rooted in gambling. But King has an even seedier side. After he worked his way out of street crime, running numbers, and jail -- for stomping a man to death -- he became a powerhouse in the fight game.

He did it by out-negotiating corporate giants, fleecing entire countries and ruining the lives of boxing's greatest champions, including Ali, Frazier, Holmes and Tyson. It's only fitting that biographer Jack Newfield, a columnist for the New York Post, takes the point of view of Don King's casualties -- the fighters he cheated, exploited, betrayed and abandoned.

"A brilliant combination of investigative reporting...part narrative, part memoir and part biography." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
