| William Harrison (Jack) Dempsey | |
A
Flame of Pure Fire: Jack Dempsey and the Roaring '20s by Roger KahnDempsey, boxing's heavyweight champion of the world from July 4, 1919, to Sept. 23, 1926, drew more people to a sporting event than ever before (more than 120,000 in 1926); and his rematch with Gene Tunney in 1927 produced the biggest gate to that date at a prizefight, more than $2.6 million. When he focuses on Dempsey and his fights, Kahn is at his best. When he goes afield, he runs into trouble. A Flame of Pure Fire may not knock you out. It's still a good book. |
