This is no ordinary book about boxing. Dark Trade is Donald Mc Rae's vivid personal journey through the intense & forbidding world of the professional fight game. Tyson, Bruno, Hamed, Benn, Eubank, Watson, Jones, De La Hoya & Toney confide in him their fears & longings. Their fantastic, almost mythological stories are uncovered in new & striking detail, derived from the hundreds of hours Mc Rae has spent in their company. With wit, compassion & lucidity, Dark Trade examines the way in which race & violence beat at the heart of our society, & asks what forces men to pursue this most brutal kind of stardom, what drives their outrageous ambition.
