Publisher's Synopsis
Bruce Lee struck the martial arts world like a comet from outer space. He was unexpected, devastating and original. His fans grew to millions, the world over, until now he is a legend. But what happened just before, during and after his arrival? This Anthology is a collection of writings, illustrations, reminiscences and reflections put together by Paul Crompton, who for twenty-two years was editor of the first martial arts magazine in England, K.O.A or 'Karate & Oriental Arts'. He was in an unique position to see the panorama of martial arts, the rise of Kung Fu and the spread of the message of Jeet Kune Do, Lee's own 'style' from an insider's point of view. For many the book will be a walk down memory lane. For others it will be an eye-opener. If you are interested in martial arts, in Bruce Lee or Kung Fu, or if you are simply curious from a social point of view in what makes martial artists tick, you will find this an interesting work.
