On the plane back to NYC, I thought, 'If that's what George is doing, I wonder what the rest of his opponents are up to?' I set out to track down as many of the old guys as I could find.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrennan spent decades locating Ali's former opponents to discover what had become of them.

It is a detailed map of the personal journey of one whose incomparable talents and audacity caused literati to swoon, taught a generation to question authority, and ultimately altered the path of a society which had never before seen a man exactly like him. To look at him the way he was then is to remember, with joy and sorrow, who we all once were.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - Jim Lampley, discussing the cover image (Boxing commentator, HBO Sports)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Brennan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788840186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788840187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acc Art Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 10.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Brennan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082933346559,"sku":"9781788840187","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-must-fall-michael-brennan-9781788840187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
