My brother Muhammad Ali

More words have been written about Muhammad Ali than almost any other person. He was, without a doubt, the most popular athlete in the world. At the height of his fame, he was the most famous person in the world. Yet, until now, the one voice missing has been that of the one who knew him best: his only brother and best friend, Rahman Ali. No one was closer to Ali than Rahman. Born Cassius and Rudolph Arnett Clay, the two brothers grew up together, lived together, trained together, traveled together, and fought together on the street and in the ring. A constant companion to his brother, Rahman saw Ali at his best and worst—a perpetual prankster, a jealous older brother, an outspoken advocate, a husband, and a father. In "My Brother, Muhammad Ali," Rahman offers an insider's perspective on the well-known stories, as well as previously untold tales, painting a rich and intimate portrait of a proud, relentlessly controversial, but often vulnerable man. In this extraordinary and moving memoir, Rahman tells a story deeper and more personal than any other book about Muhammad Ali—the story of two brothers, nearly separated from birth to death. It is the final and most important perspective on a remarkable figure.
