    Men,

    Looking for a book about the great man to read on holiday and noticed that he's supposed to have written an autobiography but Amazon show this to be written by his son

    Can anyone shed any light on this or alternatively, suggest another book about him to read

    Thanks :bbb

    Ring of Hate by Patrick Myler is a good read on Louis and Schmeling.

    The Richard Bak one is the best one in my opinion, the new Randy Roberts one looks a little lightweight for my liking

    Get the one that Don McRae wrote - it is about Joe Louis and Jesse Owens - I am in the middle of this one right now and it is top notch:good
