Book Reviews of Rocky Marciano: THE ROCK OF HIS TIMES (Sport and Society)
Book Review: A must read for all sports fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel that this book provides a breath of fresh air to boxing biographys' it is an unbiased detailed account of marcianos' outstanding career that provides a well structured easy to read investigative look at not only the hard hitting italians in ring domination, but also an image evoking look at the era itself in which the 'great white hope' laid down (or rather laid his opponents down) on route to creating his legacy as the aptly titled 'Rock of his times'.
