When Muhammad Ali met Joe Frazier in Manila for their third fight, the rivalry between them had spun out of control.  The Ali-Frazier matchup, inflamed by media and politics, had become a madness.  When the boxing match was over, one man—Ali—was left with a ruin of a life; Joe Frazier was battered to his soul.  Now reporter Mark Kram's riveting book reappraises the boxers -- who they are and who they were.  And in a voice as powerful as a heavyweight punch, Kram explodes the myths surrounding each fighter, particularly Ali.  A controversial, no-holds-barred account, Ghosts of Manila ranks with the finest boxing books ever written.
