Through DVD technology, this breakthrough title about Muhammad Ali is possible. Ali in Action blends insightful sportswriting with real-life examples of Ali's brilliant ring moves and colorful rhetoric. The DVD brings amazing clarity to the text, which covers Ali's ring tactics and oratories--and how he used them to psyche out his opponents. Ali in Action is the first book about the Champ to incorporate a DVD. Not only is there rare footage of Ali's "Pearls of Wisdom," the author has licensed, through  special arrangement with ESPN, highlights of Ali's greatest fights, most of which have been blacked out on television. Included is "The Rumble in the Jungle" (October 1974) in which you will witness Ali's rope-a-dope against George Foreman. Included also are highlights from "The Thrilla in Manila," in which Ali finally beat Joe Frazier.
