The Greatest: My Own Story is a 1975 autobiography of heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali, who was three times World Heavyweight Champion and has been called the greatest heavyweight from all eras.[2]
It is written in collaboration with Richard Durham and edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison.[1] Written in his own words, the heavyweight champion chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring. The book is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali as sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur.[3]
