An incisive and fast paced biography about one of boxing's all time greats and Heavyweight Champion of the World from 1919 to 1926
Randy Roberts is a professor of history at Purdue
University. He is the author or coauthor of many books, including A
Line in the Sand: The Alamo in Blood and Memory; John Wayne:
American; Heavy Justice: The State of Indiana v. Michael G. Tyson;
and Winning Is the Only Thing: Sports in America since 1945.
"In a creative and flowing literary style, but with keen attention to detail and judicious analyses of his material, Roberts approaches the heralded heavyweight champion as a legend and symbol of his age... Jack Dempsey: The Manassa Mauler is a first-rate slice of Americana. It is fresh, witty, entertaining, and serious." --Washington Post Book World
