Açıklama
"50 years at ringside" by Nat Fleischer is an autobiography written in the mid-20th century. It charts a half-century of boxing as witnessed by a premier sportswriter and editor, weaving ringside reportage with backstage portraits of champions, promoters, and the sport’s mix of glory, controversy, and underworld entanglements.
The opening of the memoir presents a foreword lauding Fleischer as the Pepys of boxing, then his own declaration of faith in the sport’s “drama” and a brief résumé of his global credentials. He recalls an athletic East Side boyhood, his first great newsroom triumph covering the Titanic disaster, and vivid encounters with Theodore Roosevelt, who championed boxing’s virtues. He describes pushing the Army to lower height requirements so he could serve in the First World War, then laments returning to find much of his prized fight memorabilia given away. Nostalgic sketches of old New York and Madison Square Garden blend spectacle with grit—six-day races, star track
