Summary:
Muhammed Ali and Howard Cosell, a legendary athlete and a television icon, were individually interesting, but together they were mesmerizing. They were profoundly different-young and old, black and white, a Muslim and a Jew-yet they had in common forces that made them unforgettable: both were unprecedented performers with a profound need for public acclaim. Theirs was an extraordinary alliance that produced drama, comedy, controversy, and a mutual respect that helped shape both men's lives.
