Haymarket Books, 2007

Thought provoking and electric.
Amongst sports writers David Zirin is a man among boys. He hasn't just mastered a single aspect of the genre; he has reinvented it with the complete package, which is showcased in Welcome to the Terrordome. Zirin combines acerbic wit, original insights (which is rare in sports journalism), a higher understanding of 20th century social history and an infallible drive to deliver "untouched" goods ...

Brilliant and Mind bending
I am a sports fan and someone who cares about the politics of social change. This book brought these worlds together in a way that has me rethinking how I understand both the history of sports and the history of the United States. Each story told might be worth its own book but I will take with me the stories of Moses Fleetwood Walker, the African American baseball player in the 19th century who ...

What's My Name, Fool? Sports and Resistance in the United States

Dave Zirin

Haymarket Books, 2005

Much Needed analysis
By going deeper than scores and personalities, Zirin takes an unconventional approach to sports analysis by delving deeper into the role the social, political and economic environment plays in the games we all love. Easily one of the best books on sports written as it is informative, challenging and rather fun to read.

Muhammad Ali Handbook

M Q Publications, 2007

Stunning photos and essays
So I am a big fan of radical sportswriter Dave Zirin and his book did not disappoint. More than his essays and interviews on Ali, I was blown away by the color and black and white photos. Ali at a Palestinian rights demo? It's here. Ali with Martin Luther King? Malcolm X? It's here. Original interviews with Bob Lipsyte, Etan Thomas, and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad? It's here. My only minor ...
