A tale of trial and tribulation, this book looks at the era of ethnic match-ups when Irishman and Jew traded blows. It examines the racism and the search for the Great White Hope; fighters who united the most divided of communities; and the price paid by some in the pursuit of ring glory. It's a roller-coaster ride of pride and passion.
