ReviewsAli was never merely a subject of photographers, or writers, or of the dreams of the people who idolized him. He was vitally present, like a magician, conjuring all the amazing sights himself., Ali was right about one thing when he proclaimed "I'm pretty!" His charisma and physicality shine through this collection of pictures from August 1974, when he was at the height of his force and fame... Completed just as the champ passed away, this book is a time-capsule reminder of Ali's unique powers.

SynopsisAn intimate 48 hours with Muhammed Ali in his fighting prime, as he prepared for the biggest fight of his life at 'Fighter's Retreat'. The book features over 150 photographs, of which most have never been seen or published. The photos include images of Ali in training, with his family, in the ring and relaxing. Together, they form a remarkably candid portrait that shows Ali taking part in a spectrum of activities and reveals something of the complexity of his character., In this previously unpublished photo-essay, the legendary boxer Muhammed Ali is captured up close and unguarded in the run-up to the "Rumble in the Jungle" In October 1974, Muhammad Ali attempted to regain the world heavyweight boxing championship title that was stripped from him when he refused the Vietnam draft seven years earlier. He faced the brutal, undefeated George Foreman in Zaire, Africa, the fight he had dubbed "The Rumble in The Jungle." Only weeks before, on August 11-12, photographer Peter Angelo Simon was invited to experience the private world of one of the most famous people on the planet as he prepared mentally and physically for the biggest challenge of his life. This two-day photo-essay includes many previously unpublished photographs and captures Ali the man, unguarded, away from the glare of the media spotlight at his Pennsylvania sanctuary. It includes a foreword by D.A. Pennebaker, the foremost chronicler of American counterculture in the 1960s, and an introduction by Peter Angelo Simon, who writes: "I shot 33 rolls in the two days. Ali said nobody had ever taken so many pictures of him. I believe these photographs reveal aspects of Ali's fascinating character not previously seen." Few photographers got as close to the boxer behind the legend. This extraordinary book reveals the preparation for a seminal moment in cultural and political history.
