Boxing Editorial Review
**** "Dark Trade: Lost in Boxing" by Donald McRae is not just another boxing book; it is a deep dive into the complex human emotions and interactions that pervade the sport. From the outset, readers are welcomed into McRae’s insightful exploration of boxing in the 1990s, which unfolds in the United States and Great Britain. His relationships with many key figures such as Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., and James Toney lend authenticity and depth to the stories told. Readers express a profound appreciation for how McRae articulates their own feelings about boxing, making this book not just informative, but relatable. The rich narratives surrounding each boxer, their backgrounds, struggles, and triumphs reveal not only the physicality of the sport but also its psychological dimensions. For instance, McRae's portrayal of James Toney’s life reveals how entrenched issues such as family dynamics and environment shape a fighter's journey—a narrative that resonates with many. The intimate and analytical writing style invites readers to not only witness the sport but to experience the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. The book stands out with its artistic hardcover design, further enhancing its value as a collector's piece for boxing enthusiasts. Overall, "Dark Trade" is hailed as one of the finest works in boxing literature, compelling readers to appreciate the sport on a deeper level. This is a book that transcends casual reading, inviting revisits and reflections long after the last page is turned. **Pros and Cons:** **
