Description:The enthralling narrative about one incredible boxer and the remarkable impact of his visit to Ireland.Twenty-four hours after arriving in Dublin, Muhammad Ali rang his publicist Harold Conrad. “Hey, Hal?” said Ali, “where are all the niggers in this country?” “Ali,” replied Conrad, “there aren’t any.”On July 19, 1972, it took Muhammad Ali eleven rounds to defeat Al “Blue” Lewis at Croke Park, Dublin. A mere footnote in the larger Ali story, this fight against a game ex-convict from Detroit marked the culmination of an extraordinary week in Ireland’s sporting and cultural history. From the moment the world’s most charismatic athlete touched down at Dublin Airport and announced his maternal great-grandfather Abe Grady had emigrated from County Clare more than a century before, the country was in his thrall and -- being Ali -- he loved it. It was an extraordinary week. Ali was both charming and charmed by those who came to pay homage -- among them civil rights campaigner Bernadette Devlin, Oscar-winning director John Huston, actor Peter O’Toole and an old lady who invited him in for a cup of tea.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
