Jeffrey Sussman Talks about Rocky Graziano

Jeffrey Sussman Talks about his new book, Rocky Graziano: Fists, Fame, and Fortune.

Jeffrey Sussman, boxing author, has written another hard-hitting exciting biography. It
is of Rocky Graziano, juvenile delinquent, middleweight boxing champion, and
comedic actor, who was the last great fighter from the golden age of boxing,
the era of Joe Louis, Jake LaMotta, and Sugar Ray Robinson. He will talk about his book and sign copies at the East Hampton Library on April 21 at 1 PM.

Bill Calogero, boxing historian and host of the Talkin' Boxing with Billy C, TV & Radio Program, wrote: “. Being in the boxing business for over thirty-five years, I thought I knew it all about Rocky. That was until I read Jeffrey Sussman's new book, Rocky Graziano: Fists, Fame and Fortune. Sussman tells Graziano's story like no other ever written. I learned things about Rocky I never knew before. Sussman's writing style not only educated me more about Rocky Graziano, he put me there with him. Page after page, I felt I was with Graziano, feeling his pain as a child and his triumphs as World Champion. I could not put it down! This book is a must read for all, not just boxing fans.”
