{"product_id":"winks-and-daggers-thomas-hauser-9781557289704","title":"Winks and Daggers: An Inside Look at Another Year in Boxing","description":"Thomas Hauser's annual collections have been avidly anticipated from the time \u003ci\u003eA Beautiful Sickness\u003c\/i\u003e was published by the University of Arkansas Press in 2001 until his most recent collection, \u003ci\u003eBoxing Is . . .\u003c\/i\u003e, was named a 2010 Best Sports Book of the Year by \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, which has called Hauser \"the current champ in boxing literature.\" Sportswriter Donald McRae recently wrote, \"Thomas Hauser has become boxing's indispensable writer with a stream of books and internet columns that strip away the layers of intrigue to reveal a seamy but addictive world. Whether writing Muhammad Ali's biography, or shredding boxing's power brokers, Hauser instills passion and gravitas into his work.\" \u003ci\u003eWinks and Daggers\u003c\/i\u003e continues that tradition with Hauser's writing from 2010. Hauser brings readers into Manny Pacquiao's intimate circle in the moments before last year's two biggest fights. His award-winning investigative journalism exposes the inner workings of HBO Sports and examines the use of performance-enhancing drugs in boxing. There's a look back in time at Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Leonard. And there's much more in this latest collection in the series that has become, according to reviewer Bart Barry, \"an essential part of boxing's official record and the chronicles of this era most likely to endure.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557289700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557289704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Thomas Hauser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052539736319,"sku":"9781557289704","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57d1bf95-30c3-45a2-8360-0ac0f54e3274.jpg?v=1685019388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winks-and-daggers-thomas-hauser-9781557289704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
