Mike Stanton brings back Marciano, and with him, a whole era in American social, industrial and athletic history
Unbeaten is one of the best sports books I’ve read in years. It’s an irresistible story told with beautiful writing and a keen eye for detail. Like Rocky Marciano, this book hits hard and won’t be easily put down
[A] hero whose portrait, complete with his fight-by-fight record, has hung behind the espresso machine in Soho’s Bar Italia for as long as anyone can remember . . . No subsequent heavyweight champion has matched Marciano’s record of going through a career without defeat
A meticulously researched and eminently readable account of the only heavyweight champion who exited a savage sport with a perfect professional record
