From Word of Sport:
For more than five years, Donald McRae lost himself in boxing's shadowy world. Dark Trade tells the story of his vivid and illuminating personal journey through the brutal and bleakly compelling fight game in America and Britain. An outstanding winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award in 1996.
From the Publisher:
This is no ordinary book about boxing. Dark Trade is Donald McRae's vivid personal journey through the intense and forbidding world of the professional fight game. Tyson, Bruno, Hamed, Benn, Eubank, Watson, Jones, De La Hoya and Toney confide in him their fears and longings. Their fantastic, almost mythological stories are uncovered in new and striking detail, derived from the hundreds of hours McRae has spent in their company. With wit, compassion and lucidity, Dark Trade examines the way in which race and violence beat at the heart of our society, and asks what forces men to pursue this most brutal kind of stardom, what drives their outrageous ambition.
