More DescriptionDARK TRADE: LOST IN BOXING, by Donald McRae, award-winning author of eleven non-fiction books, and staff writer for the Guardian, is widely considered of one of the best boxing books of all time. This is a new edition, released in the United States for the first time, includes a new chapter by the author, plus a stunning cover that features a painting of boxer James Toney by noted boxing artist Amanda Kelley.Dark Trade is Donald McRae's illuminating five-year journey through the intense and forbidding world of the professional fight game. Tyson, Bruno, Hamed, Benn, Eubank, Holyfield, Watson, Jones, and Toney confide in him their fears and ambitions. Their fantastic, almost mythological stories are uncovered in new and striking detail, drawn from the hundreds of hours McRae has spent in their company. With wit, compassion, and lucidity, Dark Trade examines the ways in which race and violence beat at the heart of American and British society and what it is that drives men to pursue this most brutal kind of fame.
