"McRae brings to the highly charged, obsessive world of professional boxing a novelist's eye and ear for revealing detail and convincingly recalled dialogue. This is an impassioned book."—Joyce Carol Oates, LA Times “This deeper understanding of everything that surrounds the fight game is what makes Dark Trade so compelling and why McRae’s brave book remains essential reading for any boxing fan.”—Joshua Isard, The Fight City Dark Trade: Lost In Boxing , by Donald McRae, award-winning author of eleven non-fiction books and staff writer for The Guardian , is widely considered of one of the best boxing books all time. This is a new edition, released in the United States for the first time, that includes a new chapter by the author, plus a stunning cover that features a painting of boxer James Toney by noted boxing artist Amanda Kelley. There is no other sport like boxing. Over twenty years ago, Donald McRae set out across the United States and his adopted home, Britain, to find deeper meaning in the brutal trade that had transfixed him since he was a young man. The result is a stunning chronicle that captures not only McRae's compelling personal journey through the world of professional prizefighting, but also the stories of some of its biggest names James Toney, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, and others. Singular in his ability to uncover the emotional forces that drive men to get into the ring, McRae brilliantly exposes the hopes and fears and obsessions of these legendary fighters, while revealing some of his own along the way. What he shares with them most, he comes to realize, is that he is hopelessly, and willingly, lost in boxing.

Beta ir barene, kuras vecakus noslepkavoja nezinami laundari, meitenei vel mazai esot. Milestibas apvita berniba Betai ir palikusi svesa pasaule, tikpat svesa ka mates glasts. Vinu audzina pamate – rupja, neizglitota sieviete. Meitene milestibu mekle pie svesiniekiem, un dazi to neliedz gan bernunamos, gan internatskola. Svesi cilveki pamazam iedesta mazas meitenes sirdi jaunu puki, kas lenam izaug, uzplaukst un parversas bijiba pret skaisto. Tacu ir vel kads, kas vienmer ir kopa ar Betu ? vinas Sargengelis. Tas ir vins, kas glabj meiteni dzives vistumsakaja nestunda… Sargengelis nosarga savu Betu, un vina atgriezas dzive, soreiz daudz stipraka dvesele un gara. – Dievs, Kungs, palidzi! – Engelis iebrecas un iekrita pasaule, kura valdija tumsa. Izpletis sparnus, vins lidinajas virs balta klajuma, virs eglu galotnem un mekleja savu Cilveku. Mazo bernu. – Gara stipram, milosam un vajadzigam, – vins nebeidza atkartot Dieva teikto un skatijas taluma, kur pletas balti apsnidzis mezs.
