Black Ajax - Paperback
by George MacDonald Fraser (Author)
"Fraser's rousing historical novel tracks the rise and fall of the real-life boxer Tom Molineaux, a Virginia slave who fought his way to freedom and then to celebrity in England in the early 1800s."--New York Times Book Review
Bringing historical fact spiritedly to life, Fraser tells the rollicking tale of how "the Black Ajax" became as famous a figure in England as Napoleon -- and just as much a threat to its establishment -- before he passed into boxing legend and created a precedent for modern black prizefighters.George MacDonald Fraser is the bestselling author of the Flashman series and also of the novels Mr. American and The Pyrates and his war memoir, Quartered Safe Out Here. He lives in Scotland.
