Escaping the devastation of Ireland's famine through the dockyards of Brooklyn these heroes emerge strengthened by the chains they overcame to become the most famous men in the world. The American dream from rags to riches dream comes to life this the greatest of times. Uncle Jack World Champion weaves these tales into life lessons for his nephew and all generations to come. Leading America through the 1880s and 1890s strode three giants, heroes of the people and the most famous men in the world. Jack McAuliffe, The Napoleon of the Ring undefeated Lightweight Champion of the World, Jack Dempsey the Nonpareil unequaled in the ring as Middleweight Champion of the World and John L Sullivan Champion of Champions and World Heavyweight Champion. They were The Three Champion Jacks of the World. Theirs was a world that tested man in as brutal a business to have ever graced the earth. Flesh and blood battled for dominance, two men glaring through scowls of disdain in this world of bare-knuckle boxing. The winner exiting the ring head held high, the loser left hanging like a rag on a clothes line. The settings, scenes, and backdrop behind the famous fights include: Jack McAuliffe verses Harry Gilmore, Billy Myer and JEM Carney; Jack Dempsey verses George La Blanche; John L. Sullivan vs. Jake Kilrain and James J. Corbett; George Dixon vs. Jack Skelly and Jack Dempsey vs. Luis Firpo. The challenges and the stories behind their legend lay bare a formula for success in becoming Champions.

As living relative, he is the historical collector and Curate of the McAuliffe Museum. Jack McAuliffe's scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, articles and photographic representations are housed within the McAuliffe Museum along with other McAuliffe family mementos. Uncle Jack World Champion is the authorized biography based on a compilation of the collections he has amassed. JE weaves Uncle Jack's story from the museum's archives and accounts which have been passed from generation to generation. The authorized biography survives in the form of advice Uncle Jack McAuliffe gives to his nephew, JE's grandfather. These pearls of wisdom are the culmination of this champion's life and are lessons to live by for those who wish to become champion.
