Cashmore's eviscerating analysis of Tyson's life and the culture in which he grew up, rose to prominence, and descended into disgrace, provokes the reader into rethinking the role of one of the most controversial and infamous figures of recent history.
Told as an odyssey-style homeward journey to Tyson's multi-pathological origins in the racially-explosive ghettos of the 1960s.
Illustrated by the background to the Tyson psychodrama, including analysis of how associations.
