Reviews

Each chapter is a who 's who of the champs, palookas, ringmen, and wiseguys like Frank Costello and Frankie Carbo who controlled them . Rich with marvelous anecdotes, this is as much a history of 20th-century boxing as it is a true crime story; it will please fight enthusiasts and mafia mavens equally. Recommended.


Mitchell's account brings to life the fight world of that era a cigar-chomping read.


A tour de force of reportage and research by an author who really knows his stuff.
