In "The Great White Hopes", author Graeme Kent has done a splendid job of documenting the years 1908-15, also known as the white hope era of the heavyweight division.
This book contains facts about the fighters of that age which until now have been either forgotten or little known for the last 80+ years.
Kent also sets the record straight about certain lore and unaccuracies which have wrongly become accepted as fact over the years.
Overall, "The Great White Hopes" is a valuable piece of work that should be found in every serious boxing historians bookshelf. Recommended.
