Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In the figure of Sonny Liston - the most violent, seemingly undefeatable, and tragic heavyweight champion in the history of boxing - Nick Tosches has found a character to stand at the heart of a book that will endure as one of the greatest Mafia stories ever told, and as one of the most enthralling and frightening journeys ever undertaken through the dark, unexplored places, not only of lowlife culture, but of the human soul as well. Based on his acclaimed story on Liston in VANITY FAIR, this much awaited book by the author of the best-selling DINO (Secker/Vintage) is more than a biography. It is a murder mystery, a tale of twentieth-century enslavement to forces of evil, and a lethal neon tragedy told as only Tosches could tell.
