Muhammad Ali "15 Years in the Wilderness"

In this edition i am joined by author Dave Hannigan to talk about his new book on the life of Ali from his retirement up until the lighting of the Olympic flame in Atlanta in 1996. Between defeat by Trevor Berbick in December 1981 and lighting the Olympic flame in July 1996, Ali spent 15 bizarre years traversing the globe. Sometimes hilarious, often terribly poignant, this book chronicles Ali preaching Islam, causing havoc and touching lives from Beijing to Birmingham, Detroit to Damascus, Khartoum to the Khyber Pass.
