Bruce Lee: The Authorized Visual History

by Steve Kerridge, Shannon Lee (Foreword)

Bruce Lee was instrumental in the global popularity of kung fu, and even some 40 years after his death he remains the most famous martial artist in the world. This official book—the biggest illustrated volume ever published on Lee—shows the whole of his life in images, all sourced from the extensive Lee family archives. Bruce himself was a prolific photographer and took thousands of pictures on set, with his family, and during intensive training and martial arts demonstrations. They are reproduced here, along with documents featuring excerpts from his poetry, philosophical musings, and film scripts, and a foreword by his daughter, Shannon Lee. The fan-pleasing images range from Lee's iconic, beloved theatrical poses to the previously undiscovered and never-before-published.

This book was good. The foreword is by his daughter so I thought she would have some commentary in the book about him being a dad or what kind of person he was at home. I know it says visual history on the cover but I wanted more personal stories from family members, friends, people he worked with, etc. The pictures are great but this would have been a great book to me if personal commentary could have went along with the pictures in the book
