Cloth. Zustand: Very good. The signed limited edition of A Man Must Fight by professional boxer Gene Tunney. (illustrator). Limited Edition. Octavo, [4], 288pp. Red paper boards over black cloth. Title on label affixed to spine. Complete with frontispiece portrait and 11 illustrated plates. Dampstain affecting pages 282-284. Red dye from boards affecting endpapers. Solid text block, generally clean throughout. Lacking the publisher's original black cardboard slipcase. From a limited edition of 500 copies signed by Gene Tunney, this being number 190. Gene Tunney (1897-1978) was an American professional boxer who gained fame in the 1920s as one of the greatest heavyweights of his era. Born in New York City, Tunney became known for his scientific approach to boxing, combining his tactical intelligence with outstanding footwork and defensive skills. He is most famous for his two victories over Jack Dempsey, the reigning heavyweight champion at the time, particularly their 1927 rematch known as "The Long Count Fight." Tunney's disciplined style and emphasis on strategy over sheer aggression set him apart from many of his contemporaries, earning him the nickname "The Fighting Marine" due to his service in the United States Marine Corps during World War I. After retiring with an impressive record of 65 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, Tunney left an indelible mark on the sport and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990, celebrated for his intelligence, sportsmanship, and contributions to the art of boxing.

First edition of Valtin's bestselling autobiographical narrative. Octavo, original blue cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author to the great boxing champion and his wife, "To Polly and Gene Tunney with admiration and cordial fond wishes from Jan Valtin June 1, 1941." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket art by George Salter. A bestseller in 1941, described as". . . full of sensational revelations and interspersed with episodes of daring, of desperate conflict, of torture, and of ruthless conspiracy . . . It is, first of all, an autobiography the like of which has seldom been." The son of a seafaring father, Richard Julius Herman Krebs, a.k.a. Jan Valtin, came of age as a bicycle messenger during a maritime rebellion. His life as an intimate insider account of the dramatic events of 1920's and 1930s, where he rose both within the ranks of the Communist Party and on the Gestapo hit list. Known for his honesty and incredible memory, Krebs dedicated his life to the Communist Party, rising to a position as head of maritime, organizing worldwide for the Comintern, only to flee the Party and Europe to evade his own comrade's attempts to kill him. As a professional revolutionary, agitator, spy and would-be assassin, Krebs traveled the globe from Germany to China, India to Sierra Leon, Moscow to the United States where a botched assassination attempt landed him a stint in San Quentin. From his spellbinding account of artful deception to gain release from a Nazi prison and his work as a double-agent within the Gestapo, to his vivid depiction of a Communist Party fraught with intrigue and subterfuge, Krebs gives an unflinching portrayal of the internal machinations of both parties. Writing at age 36 under the name Jan Valtin, Krebs lays bare a young life filled with idealism and devotiondisillusionment and lossin a world full of revolutionary promise gone immeasurably wrong."An exciting, real book without a trace of unnecessary melodrama" (H.G.Wells).

Single slip, unbound. Zustand: Good. Presumed first thus. This is a slip of paper approximately 5.5 inches long and 1.75 inches high. It appears to have been cut from a document. The name Gene Tunney is clearly written on one side. There is the start of the signature a little to the left of the actual signature, perhaps the first writing instrument did not have ink. The back side is blank. James Raj "Gene" Tunney (May 25, 1897 - November 7, 1978) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1915 to 1928. He held the world heavyweight title from 1926 to 1928, and the American light heavyweight title twice between 1922 and 1923. A highly technical boxer, Tunney had a five-fight light heavyweight rivalry with Harry Greb in which he won three, drew once, and lost once, though many ringside reporters believed Greb should have won the decision in their 2nd meeting. He also knocked out Georges Carpentier and defeated Jack Dempsey twice; first in 1926 and again in 1927. Tunney's successful title defense against Dempsey remains one of the most famous bouts in boxing history and is known as The Long Count Fight. He retired undefeated as a heavyweight after his victory over Tom Heeney in 1928, after which Tunney was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine. Tunney enlisted the Marine Corps during World War I and served as Private with 11th Marine Regiment in France and later in Germany during the occupation of the Rhineland in 1919. He was on the Marine boxing team, becoming U.S. Expeditionary Forces champion. Tunney remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, ultimately reaching the rank of Major in the Connecticut Naval Militia. Tunney was a thinking fighter who preferred to make a boxing match into a game of chess, which was not popular during the times when such sluggers as Jack Dempsey, Harry Greb and Mickey Walker were commanding center stage. Tunney's style was influenced by other noted boxing thinkers such as James J. Corbett and Benny Leonard. Nevertheless, it is incorrect to think of Tunney as a stick-and-move fighter in the Ali style. While Tunney's heavyweight fights against Gibbons, Carpentier, and Dempsey featured his fleet-footed movement and rapid-fire jabbing, his earlier bouts, especially the five against Harry Greb, demonstrated his vicious body punching and willingness to fight toe-to-toe. It was Benny Leonard who advised Tunney that the only way to beat Harry "The Human Windmill" Greb was to aim his punches at Greb's body rather than his head. Always moving and boxing behind an excellent left jab, Tunney would study his opponents from the first bell. He generally preferred to stay outside and nullify any attacks, while using quick counters to keep the opponent off balance. In his fights against Jack Dempsey, today's viewer can see Tunney's style: hands held low for greater power, fast footwork that adjusts to every move his opponent makes and quick and accurate one-two style counter-punches with the left and right. Tunney was never knocked out, while only ever being knocked down once, that in his second fight with Dempsey in the infamous Long Count. This makes him one of only five Heavyweight champions, alongside Rocky Marciano, Riddick Bowe, Sultan Ibragimov and Nicolai Valuev to retire without ever suffering a stoppage defeat. Tunney, along with Marciano, Lewis and Vitali Klitschko is one of four heavyweight champions to have retired as champion and to have ended their career with a win in a world title fight. Having avenged his only defeat to Harry Greb, with whom he also drew), Tunney joins Ingemar Johansson, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe as the only five heavyweight champions to have retired while holding a victory over every opponent he faced as a professional.
