Book excerpt: The Spinks Jinx By Nova Malikah Spinks This book tells of the trials, tribulations and heartbreak from loving a man with all her being, a man who didn’t deserve the love that she offered so freely and deeply only to be disrespected, abused and totally abandoned. This book chronicles Nova’s life as heavy weight champion Leon Spinks’ wife and her dealings with the downs, the lies and the devastation from the many women he cheated on her with, being treated worse than a second-class citizen by his mother, brother, managers and attorneys and her triumph over all.

Book excerpt: Leon Spinks and Me tells our tale from the way I remember, the way things happened with Leon and me. We are two unique individuals who love life, laughter, and people. We always love helping others and putting ourselves last to help others. It's sad to say, others did not feel the same way. Leon Spinks and Me tells it the way I remember, the way things happened with Leon and me. We are as we did. They were all for themselves. Leon Spinks and Me starts in 1980 with our first meeting in Detroit and goes through 2001 when Leon attended the Boxing Hall of Fame, but had stopped boxing professionally. Our lives together were wild and crazy. This is part one of my life with Leon. Imagine meeting the heavyweight champion of the world. My life changed from the moment I met Leon--sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. He taught me faith, and I can't let go. Leon will always be in my heart and on my mind. His sons will always be my sons. And if there's anything that I can do for him, I will do it. Leon is a very special person who loves people. As Leon once said, "If I was asked what would I have done different or what would I like to change, I would have to say nothing, because it has been a learning experience." Leon Spinks still remains the people's champion and is well-received everywhere he goes. And we still remain family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1976 when Leon and Michael Spinks first punched their way into America’s living rooms. That year, they became the first brothers to win Olympic gold in the same Games. Shortly thereafter, they became the first brothers to win the heavyweight title: Leon toppled The Greatest, Muhammad Ali; Michael beat the unbeatable Larry Holmes. With a cast of characters that includes Ali, Holmes, Mike Tyson, Gerry Cooney, Dwight Qawi, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and dozens of friends, relatives, and boxing figures, ONE PUNCH FROM THE PROMISED LAND tells the unlikely story of the Spinks brothers. Their rise from the Pruitt-Igoe housing disaster. Their divergent paths of success. And their relationship with America. The book also uncovers stories never before made public: the big paydays, the high living, the backroom deals. It’s not afraid to tackle an issue rarely discussed: Does the heavyweight title deliver on its promise to young men in the inner city? This is the definitive story of Leon and Michael Spinks. And a cross-examination of heavyweight boxing in 20th century America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of Atlantic City (AC) boxing, the fight game was bustling. An array of ring talent, from club fighters to champions, came to the shore to compete at thriving venues like the Northside's Waltz Dream Arena and Convention Hall on the boardwalk. Although ring action was plentiful, the biggest fights were still happening elsewhere, and boxing was just one of many entertainment options in AC. However, everything changed once gambling came to town. As casinos popped up along the boardwalk, Atlantic City fights got bigger and bigger. By the late 1970s, boxing was on the rise, and within a few years, business was booming. Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson ushered in the city's peak era in the late 1980s, a time when more than just fight fans turned their attention to Atlantic City for some of the biggest sporting events ever. Although AC never again topped the impact of those days, boxing action at the shore remained vital for decades to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I now see Boxing history through a whole new lens. Boxing legends came alive before my eyes and I understood finally what brought them to the levels they attained. Listening to my parents talk about Joe Louis and remembering Cassius Clay/Ali from my own early adult years enhanced the information gleaned from these pages. New names were dangled before me and now I want to know more about them. Where was I when they fought for glory? What kind of lives did they lead? Now I am on a treasure hunt for answers to those questions. This book has whet my appetite for more. Carol Golden-Media Assistant, Marion, IA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few conventions were left unchallenged in the 1970s as Americans witnessed a decade of sweeping social, cultural, economic, and political upheavals. The fresh anguish of the Vietnam War, the disillusionment of Watergate, the recession, and the oil embargo all contributed to an era of social movements, political mistrust, and not surprisingly, rich cultural diversity. It was the Me Decade, a reaction against 60s radicalism reflected in fashion, film, the arts, and music. Songs of the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and Patti Smith brought the aggressive punk-rock music into the mainstream, introducing teenagers to rebellious punk fashions. It was also the decade of disco: Who can forget the image of John Travolta as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever decked out in a three-piece white leisure suit with his shirt collar open, his hand points towards the heavens as the lighted disco floor glares defiantly below him? While the turbulent decade ushered in Ms. magazine, Mood rings, Studio 54, Stephen King horror novels, and granola, it was also the decade in which over 25 million video game systems made their way into our homes, allowing Asteroids and Pac-Man games to be played out on televisions in living rooms throughout the country. Whether it was the boom of environmentalism or the bust of the Nixon administration and public life as we knew it, the era represented a profound shift in American society and culture.
