The compelling story of one man's friendship with the greatest boxer of all time - Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali was the greatest boxer the world has ever seen, and the most charismatic athlete of all time. Mesmeric both inside the ring and out, Ali has been a role model, a spiritual thinker and a symbol of courage for thousands of people.

Davis Miller was a sickly 12-year-old child when he first encountered Ali. From this meeting there developed a powerful personal relationship that has lasted decades. The Tao of Muhammad Ali is a unique portrait of this exceptional fighter, and a compelling story of hero-worship, of fathers and sons, of strength through wisdom.

Praise for The Tao of Muhammad Ali

Ali's life has been documented many times over, but never has anyone captured the essence of his ongoing appeal as well as Miller. A poignant and unforgettable portrait of the sports legend

Booklist

A fine, rare book... This story is a classic, one of the standards against which I'll measure all other sports writing

Glenn Stout, The Best American Sports Writing

Miller's memoir is every fan's ultimate dream-come-true. This is a tender, terrific one-of-a-kind book - a must-read

Ron Shelton director and writer (Bull Durham, White Men Cant's Jump)

Told in clear, spare prose, Miller's warm celebration of Ali will have readers cheering for the man who calls himself "The Greatest of All Times" - and for his Boswell too
