Shooting from the hip with his vivid, demotic prose, Nick Tosches brings Liston and the lurid underworld of boxing brilliantly to life.

"Esquire"

[Night Train] is as much about Liston and boxing as it is about the darkest side of the American Dream. Liston's story comes alive though clean, evocative prose, hard facts and lyrical, occasionally breathtaking writing.

"Time Out"

From his birth into a slave family to his death at the hands of the mob, boxer Sonny Liston's life was a series of tragedies. Tosches leaves no stone untouched.
