Book Reviews of Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson

Book Review: Brilliant piece of work
Summary: 5 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book on Jack Johnson. The man was the best boxer of his generation and lived his life to the fullest extent outside the ring.

The author has produced a tremendous work that completely looks at the life of the champion and gives a look at the USA in that time. Johnson had to deal with numerous issues in his day and he handled it in a manner that few could.

Well worth reading.
