Black Ajax - first UK edition

by George MacDonald Fraser

When Mad Buck sees the black boxer catch a fly in mid-flight, he realizes that he is in the presence of speed such as the ring has never seen. He believes that this ex-slave from America is a Champion in the making, on whose broad shoulders the Captain can climb to sporting and social fame. 

Book and Dust Jacket are near fine with small 1/4" tear in top rear DJ; it is not price clipped and shows a published price of 16.99 British pounds.
