Roberts not only gives you a biography, but portrays Johnson in the context of Jim Crow America. Johnson was his own man and he did not bow down to racial convention. It's an amazing story and well-written.

I read this years back and recall it being a very good read on Boxing and it's impact on US race relations in that era.
