The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Mafia and an Ill-Fated Prize Fighter
Ron Ross - 2004 St Martins Press
Bummy Davis is one of the more interesting and entertaining sports books that has ever been printed. The writing style is extremely unique and, although it may take a page or two to get used to, it is well worth it. Ross does an excellent job of incorporating humor, creative imagery, and a sense of familiarity to a story about a lesser-known fighter in a well known sport, time, and circumstance.
It would be difficult to single out a favorite part of this book; rather it would have to be narrowed down to a favorite from the favorites from the whole book in general.
It's even more difficult to sum up this book in a short review but suffice it to say this is a very highly recommended and enjoyable book.
