Budd Schulberg's celebrated novel of the prize ring has lost none of its power since its first publication almost fifty years ago. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers. Mr. Schulberg creates a wonderfully authentic atmosphere for this book that many critics hailed as even better than What Makes Sammy Run? \"The quintessential novel of boxing and corruption.\"-USA Today \"The book will stand not only as the novel about boxing but also as a book that indirectly tells more about civilization than do most books about civilization itself.\"-Arthur Miller. \"Brilliant, witty, and amusing-the best book on fighting that I have read.\"-Gene Tunney. | The Harder They Fall by Budd Schulberg, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
