On May 26, 1967, The Spiraling Career Of Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, Then The Top Contender For The World Middleweight Boxing Crown, Came To A Shuddering And Tragic Halt: He And A Young Fan Were Found Guilty Of Murder Of Three White People In A New Jersey Bar. The Nightmare Knew No Bounds As Carter Traded His Superstar Status For A Prison Number And The Concrete Walls Of Some Of America'S Most Horrific Institutions. Originally Published As An Attempt By Carter To Set The Record Straight And Force A New Trial, The Sixteenth Round Is Timeless. It Is An Eyeopening Portrait Of Growing Up Black In America, A Scathing Indictment Of The Prison System Carter Grew Up In And Out Of, And A Mesmerizing Recreation Of His Furious Battles In The Ring And In The Courtroom Set Against The Backdrop Of The Turbulent Sixties. The Liveliness Of Carter'S Street Language, Its Power And Ironic Humor, Makes This An Eloquent, Soulstirring Account Of A Remarkable Life Not Soon To Be Forgotten.
