Description: OUT of a thrill-packed world of pounding leather, smoke-filled arenas, precarious fortunes, and high-pitched emotions, Theodore Naidish has drawn a life-size picture of an original and hard-hitting character and his colorful assortment of acquaintances. This dramatic story of three days in the life of a boxer holds all the thrills and suspense of a feature bout. The young man known to his associates as Willie Carter was a natural-born fighter and some day he would be Champion of the World. Everyone who had seen him work out said so — Humenki, the big-time promoter; Tom Haley, owner of the training farm; Tom Johnson, Willie's self-appointed manager — they all said so. And Willie Carter with a strange and compelling certainty, said so, too. The only persons who weren't convinced that Willie was about to win fame and fortune were Helen's parents and Willie's own father, a petty “big-shot” whose vending-machine business paid-off in everything except the power which he wanted so badly. Those three didn't believe in Willie, but they all had reasons for wanting him to fail. This special edition of WATCH OUT FOR WILLIE CARTER by Theodore Naidish has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Charles Scribner’s & Sons, New York. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books In Wartime
