He&rsquo;s built like the Minotaur, but few would guess at the fear consuming the Argentine farmer and former circus performer after he&rsquo;s brought to the United States to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. The problem is that Molina can&rsquo;t box at all. But monstrous fight promoter Nick Latka fixes every fight on the way to the championship, and builds Toro&rsquo;s renown with the help of cynical sports journalist Ed Lewis and a host of lackeys.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>First published in 1947, <I>The Harder They Fall</I> stands as a powerful expos&eacute; of professional boxing by one of the sport&rsquo;s true poet laureates.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV><I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</I></DIV>
