Little Big Men: Henry Armstrong
|

Henry
Armstrong was a physical loan shark, a fighter who adopted
General Clausewitz's theory that the winning general is the one
who can impose his will upon the enemy. One hundred fifty-one
times Armstrong imposed his will on his opponents, suffocating
them in his swarming style, firing off his punches and then
running over them, much like a runaway locomotive, with a
ten-ton truck rumbling over their remains for good measure. |
