McRae brings to the highly charged, obsessive world of professional boxing a novelist's eye and ear for revealing detail and convincingly recalled dialogue. This is an impassioned book.-Joyce Carol Oates, LA TimesThere is no other sport like boxing. Over thirty years ago, Donald McRae set out across the United States and his adopted home, Britain, to find deeper meaning in the brutal trade that had transfixed him since he was a young man. The result is a stunning chronicle that captures not only McRae's compelling personal journey through the world of professional prizefighting, but also the stories of some of its biggest names-James Toney, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, and others.
Singular in his ability to uncover the emotional forces that drive men to get into the ring, McRae brilliantly exposes the hopes, fears, and obsessions of these legendary fighters while revealing some of his own along the way. What he shares with them most, he comes to realize, is that he is hopelessly and willingly lost in boxing.In this new edition, released in the United States for the first time and including a new chapter, it's clearer than ever why Dark Trade is considered one of the finest boxing books ever written.
