Book Reviews of Cinderella Man: James J. Braddock, Max Baer, and the Greatest Upset in Boxing History
Book Review: A Great Book About Both Boxers
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though the book is called "Cinderella Man", Schaap does a great job of telling the story of Max Baer. Unlike the movie, Baer is shown in a positive light. Baer did not revel in the deaths of the men he fought and had a background that was as interesting as Braddock's. Schaap's book is a great story of both boxers and the time period the historic fight took place in.

Summary of Cinderella Man: James J. Braddock, Max Baer, and the Greatest Upset in Boxing History
A riveting tale of perseverance in the face of hardship, Cinderella Man is the chronicle of the boxer James J. Braddock, whose exceptional story of achievement against all odds was the subject of a major motion picture. Braddock, dubbed the Cinderella Man, staged the greatest comeback in fighting history, rising in the span of twelve months from the relief rolls to a face-off against the heavyweight champion, Max Baer.Against the gritty backdrop of Depression-era New York, Schaap paints a vivid picture of the fight world in its golden age, evoking a time when boxing resonated with a country trying desperately to get back on its feet.
