But that just scratches the surface of a saga that encompasses such diverse pursuits as marathon dancing, doubling in movies for Maurice Chevalier, and serving as bodyguard to screen siren Mae West. He becomes a rarity among pro wrestling-amateur boxing promoters because he's celebrated as an honest one. Outdoors lovers will laugh joyfully as he goes hunting with a crooked barrel shotgun, battles a giant swordfish that got away, and plays three rounds of golf on three different courses in the same day. He also becomes a superlative WWII patriot and humanitarian. This is an engrossing tale about a most unusual man with a most unusual tale to tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilbert Gia, Eddie Lopez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466464941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466464940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.41d","brand":"Gilbert Gia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250490560767,"sku":"9781466464940","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b03acdf8-a01e-4966-8946-08f44fcfdb70.jpg?v=1729600472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peasant-in-a-paper-suit-gilbert-gia-9781466464940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
