For those interested in knowing more about the life and times of one of the most enigmatic and troubled heavyweight champs, the book "The Devil and Sonny Liston," by Nick Tosches (Copyright 2000, published by Little, Brown and Company), is a wealth of knowledge. Tosches, who hails from Newark, writes in an engaging style that is as beautifully stylish as a Liston left jab and as savagely straightforward. details]
Yeah, I read this book about a year ago. It's pretty good, and I got it for $3.99 (Canadian too!) at a Chapters. Kinda sucks that a book about one of the best heavyweight champions of all time would be so de-valued though.
