The Sweet Science

A. J. Liebling

Get in the ring with A.J. Liebling's "The Sweet Science." This classic collection of New Yorker pieces transports readers to the heyday of boxing in America, chronicling the rise of greats like Sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano, as well as the unfortunate decline of Joe Louis. Liebling's vivid writing not only captures the fights themselves, but also the human stories behind them. Sports Illustrated even named it the best American sports book of all time.
