Muhammad Ali "15 Years in the Wilderness"

In this edition i am joined by author Dave Hannigan to talk about
his new book on the life of Ali from his retirement up until the
lighting of the Olympic flame in Atlanta in 1996.


Between defeat by Trevor Berbick in December 1981 and lighting
the Olympic flame in July 1996, Ali spent 15 bizarre years
traversing the globe. Sometimes hilarious, often terribly
poignant, this book chronicles Ali preaching Islam, causing havoc
and touching lives from Beijing to Birmingham, Detroit to
Damascus, Khartoum to the Khyber Pass.
