"Nobody wrote about boxing with more grace and enthusiasm than
Joe Liebling."--New York Times

"In The Sweet Science--in all his books--Liebling himself, the voice and
the character, is immensely appealing."--New Yorker

This collection of A. J. Liebling's classic New Yorker pieces on the "sweet
science of bruising" brings vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts
the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic
comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis's unfortunate decline.
Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight, and he evokes the
atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the goings-on in the ring--a
combination that prompted Sports Illustrated to name The Sweet
Science the best American sports book of all time.
