This book is an amazing insight into an incredible man
This book is an amazing insight into an incredible man
To millions of fans his reputation went beyond the boxing ring. In At Home With Muhammad Ali, Hana Ali tells what it was like to grow up with the most legendary name in sport. [The book] vividly evokes an Ali who is barely recognisable as the cocky, complicated boxer and incendiary political figure depicted in obituaries. Instead, Hana fleshes out the Ali of his later years... She presents her father as a funny, doting family man who looks for ways to bring joy to ordinary people. Ultimately, his final victory is his greatest: coming to terms with this illness after realising that it was the one opponent he would never beat.
Intimate... Moving... [This] memoir charts Hana's treasured memories of a man hailed as one of the first global superstars of sport.
How wonderful, after decades of thoughtful but at-a-distance portraits of Muhammad Ali, we have this exquisite and movingly intimate one. His daughter, Hana, has permitted us all to fill out—with love—our own sense of the real man behind all the mythology. This is a hugely important addition to our understanding of the Greatest of All Time.
A famous man will be viewed one way by the public. Another by his wife. Another by his children. Hana brings together these vantage points — and allows everyone to see Muhammad Ali in a new light.
Hana Yasmeen Ali is the third youngest child of Muhammad Ali. She is the author of three books about her father’s life and legacy and has been featured in several documentaries and television spotlights on him; most notably I am Ali and The Trials of Muhammad Ali. Hana has written articles for CNN.com, ESPN and Citizens of Humanity Magazine. She was a behaviour specialist working with autistic children for ten years and is now a Realtor. Hana currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Mixed Martial Artist Kevin Casey.
