Muhammed Ali: Amerika'ya Karşı 1966 - 1971

Muhammad Ali: Against America 1966 - 1971 Book Description Muhammad Ali was young, successful, enterprising and admired in the late 1960s, but he had some reservations. He was a brave African American teenager at a time when few people could speak openly. He rejected Cassius Clay because it was his slave name and converted to Islam and took the name Muhammad Ali. When he was called up for military service in 1966, he refused to join the army for religious and conscientious reasons, triggering a fight bigger than all his encounters in the ring. Muhammad Ali was the tip of the arrow, he became the embodiment of the conscientious objection movement. With the death of Muhammad Ali in June 2016, the world remembered a hero, a heavyweight champion, an Olympic medalist, an icon, and a man who represented the greatness of America. In Muhammad Ali vs. America, New York Times bestselling author Leigh Montville tells the fascinating history of a deeply buried story. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
