Zusammenfassung
Boxing offers one boy hope in cruel between-the-wars Algeria - but will it help him win the woman he loves?

Set in Algeria between the two world wars, this is the story of one man's rise from abject poverty to a life of wealth and adulation, as a boxer. The author has sales of 3 million in 42 countries, and has lived through the Algerian civil war, giving him an inside view on global conflict, religious intolerance and prejudice. From the author of "The African Equation" and "The Dictator's Last Night".
