AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"This biography is much more than a fan's adoring recital of Marciano's big fights....More than anything else, the book assesses Marciano in the context of his times, the early 1950's, when his career reflected America's serene years before the marches of the civil rights movement, when boxing ranked second to baseball as America's favorite sport, when most people got their news from newspapers and magazines instead of from television, when the psyche of a famous athlete was seldom analyzed, even after his death--in Marciano's case, in the crash of a small airplane in an Iowa field on Aug. 31, 1969.Sullivan, Russell is the author of 'Rocky Marciano The Rock of His Times' with ISBN 9780252027635 and ISBN 0252027639.
