In the 1920s and 30s, anti-Semitism was rife in the United States and Europe. Jews needed symbols of strength and demonstrations of courage against their enemies, and they found both in two champions of boxing: Max Baer and Barney Ross. Baer was the only Jewish heavyweight champion in the twentieth century, while Ross was considered one of the greatest welterweight and lightweight champions of the era. Although their careers never crossed paths, their boxing triumphs played a common role in lifting the spirits of persecuted Jews.

In Max Baer and Barney Ross: Jewish Heroes of Boxing, Jeffrey Sussman chronicles the lives of two men whose successful bouts inside the ring served as inspiration for Jewish fans across the country and around the world. Though they came from very different backgrounds—Baer grew up on his family’s ranch in California, while Ross roamed the tough streets of Chicago and was a runner for Al Capone—both would bask in the limelight as boxing champions. Their stories include legendary encounters with such opponents as Jimmy McLarnin (known as the Jew Killer), Max Schmeling (Hitler’s favorite athlete), and Primo Carnera (a sad giant controlled and mistreated by gangsters).

While recounting the exploits of these two men, the author also paints an evocative picture of boxing and the crucial role it played in an era of anti-Semitism. A vivid and engaging look at these two heroes and the difficult era in which they lived, Max Baer and Barney Ross will appeal to boxing fans, sports historians, and anyone interested in Jewish history.

This was a insightful great book. MR

This was a insightful great book. MR. Sussman did a great deal of research to provide the reader with background of this rare breed of jewish boxers and the anti -semitism and bullying these boxers had to endure. These boxers are dead but their legacy lives on and Mr. Sussman describes in detail how difficult it was for them. It was interesting to read how Mr. Sussman got involved in boxing from his father's attempt to make him feel better about himself, a skinny jewish kid growing up so many years ago.This book would appeal, not to just jewish people as it a gathering of stories as human interest events, something we all relate to in life. I think it would even appeal to children, to think outside the box, pick an interest that may not be the most glamorous as playing football or tennis, which was popular years ago. I plan to buy more of these books, it is a great gift item and it is difficult to put down. Mr. Sussman was so thorough in his writings. He shows us that we should be proud of our heritage, and be the best we can be. Well written, very much worth reading for men as well as women. We can all learn.

A RINGSIDE SEAT TO HISTORY

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 16 de maio de 2017

Compra verificada

A real page-turner! MR. Sussman captures the genre of the times and provides a unique insight into the world of boxing at a time when Jewish boxers were at their most prolific. His accomplishment in describing the execution of boxing styles and strategies through the eyes of the pugilists and the vivid action in the ring gives the reader a ringside seat to history. This is more than a recount of two boxers, though. The reader enjoys Mr. Sussman's broad insights into the persona of men like Schmeling, Capone, Carbo, and other heroes and villains of boxing. Overall, this is a very carefully researched book that comes highly recommend for both sports historians and casual boxing fans, alike.
