Peerless Jim

by Alexander Cordell

Overview

Jim Driscoll, adopted Welshman, one of the greatest boxers who ever lived.
Robust, hot-headed, a born fighter - and a legend in his own lifetime.

Moving between South Wales, London and America in the early years of the
twentieth century, this is the dramatic story of a true-life sporting hero - a story
of fierce pride and burning ambition, but also of human weakness and a love
that survives against all odds.
