Publisher's Summary:
This collection of A.J. Liebling's classic
New Yorker pieces on the "sweet science of bruising" brings vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis' unfortunate decline. Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight, and he evokes the atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the goings-on in the ring; a combination that prompted
Sports Illustrated to name
The Sweet Science the best American sports book of all time.

Critic Reviews:
"Nobody wrote about boxing with more grace and enthusiasm than Joe Liebling." (New York Times) "In The Sweet Science, as in all his books, Liebling himself, the voice and the character, is immensely appealing." (New Yorker)
