Book review - Bruce Lee: A Life

Shake Up And Excite San Francisco. Tiny Phoenix. Little Dragon Lee. Never Sits Still.

A man can have many names during the course of his life. But while Lee Jun Fan, a troblemaking and rambunctious child actor from Hong Kong was known as a brother, son and friend to many, his ferocious fighting style led to him being remembered as Bruce Lee.

It seems almost inconceivable, but a man as extraordinary as Lee never had a proper biography written about him. Thanks to author Matthew Polly (author of Tapped Out and American Shaolin), we finally have a definitive story of the life and times of one of the men — if not the man — that changed the course of martial arts and action cinema forever.
