Review:
"Absorbing. . . . Fascinating. . . . Margolick describes all this so vividly that you almost feel you were there sharing in the joy of sweet revenge." -Ian Buruma, The New York Review of Books "Even if you've never seen a boxing match, Beyond Glory is an irresistible read. For fans it is indispensable. . . . Over the last 150-odd pages my pulse raced; by the book's end I felt as if my ears were ringing with the roar that swept through Yankee Stadium bleachers on the night of their rematch." -Allen Barra, Los Angeles Times Book Review "A valuable addition to a growing library of books on sports and culture. . . . Beyond Glory is historical reportage, a heavyweight of a book that is likely to be the definitive chronicle of its subject."- Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review "A fascinating look at a historical era through the prism of sports." -Marta Salij, The Detroit Free Press
