Bruce Lee

by Bruce Lee, John R. Little (Editor)

The modern era can claim few heroes as powerful and enduring as Bruce Lee. His philosophy transcended the world of martial arts he dominated, and his thoughts and beliefs have inspired and influenced individuals from all walks of life for more than half a century. To some, Lee was the outsider who crashed Hollywood's gates and introduced Americans to action films. To others, he was the bold and capable pioneer who successfully challenged centuries of martial arts tradition. Still others revered him as a contemporary philosopher and visionary. Today, a new generation has discovered Lee as a model of discipline, strength, and wisdom. Within these pages, the reader will find insight and inspiration in Bruce Lee's own words, in rare interviews never before published in book form, with all-new commentary by the original interviewers. Twenty-five years after his death, Lee's words still resonate, speaking truths that are as essential today as ever before.

Reviews

[Robin Harvey Futrell]

Great perspective from others on Bruce Lee.

[Andrew Mills · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad if you're looking for a quick read to get acquainted with Bruce Lee during his "overnight success" period. Second interview and commentary was, in my opinion, redundant and unnecessary. The third interview was the best.

If you are not fascinated by Bruce Lee, you should be. he did so many things in his short lifetime. Battled prejudice, strove for perfection and yes, kicked butt!
