A Dangerous Journey: Inside Another Year in Boxing

"A Dangerous Journey is a collection of Thomas Hauser's writing on boxing over the course of the 2018 season. He turns his award-winning investigative reporting skills on the scandal surrounding the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in boxing today and the failures of corrupt and incompetent state athletic commissions.
