About the Author
Jack Newfield was a pioneering investigative journalist and author whose incisive prose exposed the underbelly of American power structures, from political corruption to the shadowy world of professional boxing. Born in Brooklyn in 1939, he honed his craft at The Village Voice, where his fearless reporting earned him a reputation as a champion of the voiceless. Newfield's work blended meticulous research with a passionate commitment to social justice, influencing generations of writers and activists. His biography 'Only in America: The Life and Crimes of Don King' masterfully dissects the controversial promoter's rise, revealing the intersections of race, money, and ambition in sports. Throughout his career, Newfield authored over a dozen books, always prioritizing truth over sensationalism, and continued writing until his death in 2019, leaving a legacy of unflinching honesty.
