Ring of Hate

Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling; The Fight of the Century

By Patrick Myler

Book Description

More than the world heavyweight championship was at stake when Joe Louis, a black American, fought German Max Schmeling in 1938; in a world on the brink of war, the contest was projected as a test of national, racial and political ideals. This gripping story follows the men’s contrasting lives.

About the Author

Patrick is an established boxing writer and ring historian, having written five books on the sport, including 'Gentleman Jim Corbett: the Truth Behind a Boxing Legend', A Century of Boxing Greats' and his latest, 'Ring of Hate: Joe Louis v Max Schmeling; the Fight of the Century', published in the United States by Arcade. He has also written for The Ring, Boxing Monthly, as well as other periodicals, and currently writes a weekly boxing column for the Evening Herald, Dublin, Ireland. He worked as a staff journalist for the Herald for 30 years and took early retirement ten years ago. Patrick said he will be happy to offer his services as a ring historian, perhaps helping to rectify errors or omissions on some boxers' records, or personal details. He is particularly interested in Irish boxing history, although his all-time favorites are Joe Louis and Archie Moore.
