The Devil and Sonny Liston by Nick Tosches in Good condition Trade PB 2001

Description: From the back cover:Sonny Liston was the anti-Ali; he embodied everything that is compelling and terrifying about boxing. In this brutal and stunning portrait, Nick Tosches digs into the darkest corners of police files, fight tapes, congressional investigations, and the memories of those who know in order to reveal the true course of Liston's story: birth into the huge family on a modern plantation, criminal life and imprisonment, a boxing career controlled by mobsters, a mystery-clouded death in Las Vegas. What becomes clear: the fighter who hit harder than any man alive and who earned the title of the world heavyweight champion essentially lived his entire life as a slave. Good overall condition. Residue from a pulled price tag and a few small dirt flecks on the front cover (see 1st photo). Pages in very good condition besides a crease in the cover and first few pages. Pages starting to tan at edges. Curl in the top cover. No writing or other marks within pages and no folded corners. Bind is great. One stroke of felt pen on edge of book near the spine (see photo).
