Boxing. The Sport of Kings. And for every king, there are kingmakers and princes, determined heirs and ruthless pretenders to the throne. Boxers may enter the ring alone, but behind them are their families, many of whom have spent a career in the fight game themselves. And all are caught up in this most beautiful but brutal of sports. Beautiful Brutality is the first book to examine the world of boxing from the perspective of family. With unprecedented access to the likes of the Calzaghes, Mayweathers, Hattons and Khans, Sky Sports boxing expert Adam Smith lays bare the raw emotion at the heart of the sport. How does it feel when your son is taking a pummelling? Can a father make rational judgements from the corner of the ring, in the frenzied atmosphere of a fight? And how much strength does a boxer take from his family, or the family figures that so many trainers and promoters become? Passionate, hard-hitting and with astonishing revelations about the world of boxing, Beautiful Brutality is written from the heart, by an author with a unique knowledge and experience of the fight game.

In March 1911, a terrible fire swept through the Triangle factory, a garment shop in New York City. Crowds watched in horror as hundreds of trapped workers -- most of them women -- tried frantically to escape. This book explains the circumstances in the early 1900s that led to the tragic fire that killed 146 people: the lack of government regulation in the workplace, the greed of negligent employers, and the desperation of poor working people who had no choice but to labor in dangerous conditions. It explores the growth of industry and immigration in the United States in the late 1800s and looks at the role of unions and reformers. The book also details how, finally, public opinion forced state governments to legislate for change. Book jacket.
