The great sports champions have in common a destiny that often transcends them and gives them an allegorical import. Marcel Cerdan was one such figure. A decent fellow from North Africa, he became a French champion in the late 30s and managed his career to the best of his abilities throughout the turbulent war years. With the war over, his conquest of the world title made him a symbol of a France rising from the ruins, to which he helped restore its dignity. This is the story of this man and this champion, and his part in the history of an era.
