By Linda Lee
This is an excellent book detailing the personal and professional events of Lee's life as described by his widow. The book concentrates upon the intensity Lee brought to his various endeavors, whether it was martial arts or cinema, and how that intensity propelled and affected him as he attained greater heights in his chosen field. Included material in this work are rumors and gossip concerning Lee's social life prior to his untimely death, noting how she cannot dispel gossip but how much Lee appreciated the security of his wife and children as he sought to achieve his goals. There are also details of his philosophy of martial arts and what importance that philosophy was to his life and career. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking information about the most easily recognized martial artist in the world today.

The Tao of Gung Fu : A Study in the Way of Chinese Martial Art.
(From The Bruce Lee Library Volume 2)
By Bruce Lee. Editor : John. R Little
From the Publisher
This is the book that Bruce Lee had intended to publish as an in-depth follow up to his Chinese Gung Fu. Bruce Lee began writing this in 1964, but it was never published. While written over 30 years ago, its publication now is truly a landmark event, as it not only offers glimpses into the many martial arts of China but also offers Lee's own interpretations and comments on these arts. Available for the first time, The Tao of Gung Fu includes not only insights into and descriptions of various Chinese martial arts, but Eastern and Western fitness methodologies, the difference between external and internal martial methods, sketches of martial arts and self-defense techniques, a contrast of various gung fu schools in China, Lee's personal scrapbook, and his famous thesis "The Tao of Gung Fu" which he wrote while attending the University of Washington.*
Prior to his death, he had written the majority of the text, which explores such topics as yin-yang as it applies to martial arts, Eastern and Western fitness methodologies, and martial arts and self-defense techniques. The manuscript was completed by martial arts expert John Little in cooperation with the Bruce Lee estate. 100+ photos. Bruce Lee's philosophy shines in this book. Mr. Little has done the world of philosophy a big favor by compiling Bruce Lee's thoughts in this volume. A great martial artist makes philosophy key to every movement in his or her art, and Bruce Lee is able to clearly lay the foundation for understanding kung-fu principles. This is a must for any martial arts library!
Synopsis:
The Bruce Lee Library promises enough detail and inside information on the life and times of the famed martial arts auteur and cinema star to warm the heart of the most obsessive fan. The second volume draws upon the late actor's personal archive to provide this comprehensive explanation of Lee's holistic approach to martial arts.*

Jeet Kune Do : Bruce Lee's commentary on the Martial Way
(From The Bruce Lee Library, Volume 3)
By Bruce Lee. Editor : John. R Little
From the Publisher
In 1970, Bruce Lee suffered a back injury which confined him to bed. Rather than allowing this to slow his growth as a martial artist he read feverishly on Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, constructing his own views on the totality of combat and life. It was during this time that Lee wrote 7 volumes containing his thoughts, ideas, opinions, and research into the art of unarmed combat, and how it applies to everyday life. Some of this material is now available for the first time. This landmark book serves as a complete presentation of Bruce Lee's art of jeet kune do. The development of his unique martial art form, its principles, core techniques, and lesson plans are presented here in Lee's own words. It also features Lee's illustrative sketches and his remarkable treatise on the nature of combat, success through martial art, and the importance of a positive mental attitude in training. In addition, there are a series of "Questions Every Martial Artist Must Ask Himself," that Lee posed to himself and intended to explore as part of his own development, but never lived to complete. Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way is the book every Bruce Lee fan must have.
An expanded sequel to the bestselling The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, this landmark book will serve as a complete presentation of Bruce Lee's art of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. The development of his unique martial art form, its principles, core techniques, lesson plans, and illustrative sketches are presented in Bruce Lee's own words. 100+ illustrations

Bruce Lee - The Lost Interview
Bruce Lee's only English-language interview, conducted by Pierre Berton on December 9, 1971 in Hong Kong.
Funny and witty. It puts a lot of Bruce's thoughts on martial arts in perspective. Usually a bit expensive for the twenty minutes you get, but well worth it if your into it!
Reviewer: A reader
This book is a collection of the JKD phylosophy in the words of legend himself. Reading this book is one of the best way to experience Bruce Lee's openmindedness and wisdom. Each single quotes of Bruce Lee sounds stanning and deeply impressive because of his phylosophy education background. This is not only a great JKD text but also a great phylosophy book.

By Bruce Lee. Editor : John. R Little

Bruce Lee : Words from a Master.
By Bruce Lee. Editor : John. R Little. Foreward by Robert Wolff
From the Publisher
For the first time in paperback, some of Bruce Lee's most significant conversations and rare international interviews have been captured and bound in one unique and fascinating book. This volume constitutes the last of the authentic Bruce Lee materials-the final words from the legendary martial artist himself. Readers will refer to this book again and again, whether they are dedicated martial artists looking for new insights and inspiration or simply Bruce Lee fans.
Review.
If you want to know the real Bruce Lee -- in his own words -- then you must get this book! I've never seen a book like this. Not only are the exact words Bruce Lee spoke in his only remaining interviews (the last three before he died) in here, but the authors went to three continents and interviewed the three men who interviewed Bruce Lee to get their insight on what Bruce Lee was like. Wait until you read what they have to say. I couldn't put the book down and the great thing is, you can read the whole book easily in less than 60 minutes. This is Bruce Lee -- in his very own words -- at his very best, talking about Bruce Lee, his philospohy, his fighting, being a man and much, much more. You will be inspired and at the end of the book, you will know Bruce Lee like you never did before

From the Publisher
During his lifetime, legendary martial artist Bruce Lee formulated a complex personal philosophy-a synthesis of Eastern and Western ideals-that extolled the virtues of knowledge and total mastery of one's self.

The Warrior Within is the most comprehensive volume of these teachings, meant to help you apply Lee's philosophies to your own life. This unique guide reveals such life-affirming secrets as:
Seeing the totality of life and putting things into perspective
Understanding the concept of Yin and Yang
Defeating adversity by adapting to circumstances
Tapping into inner spiritual forces to help shape the future
With a foreword by Linda Lee Cadwell and photographs and other memorabilia from Bruce Lee's short but celebrated life, The Warrior Within is an engrossing and easy-to-understand guide to the little-explored world of Bruce Lee. John Little has been identified as "one of the foremost authorities on Bruce Lee in the world" by Black Belt magazine. He edited a three-volume series for the Bruce Lee estate and has written articles for several publications, including Men's Fitness, Official Karate, and Inside Kung Fu.

Bruce Lee - The King of Kung Fu.
By Felix Dennis
This Bio on Bruce Lee by Felix Dennis and Don Atyeo is still the standard by which I measure the other biographies on this martial arts legend. This book takes the generally accepted chronilogical format in detailing Bruce's life and death. It provides enough information on his life and death without resorting to too many rumors. Although it sticks to the facts, it is not boring.
It tells the story of his martial learnings and romance with Linda Lee without becoming vouyeristic. It strikes the right amount of balance of what a "fan" should know. This may be due to the time it was written, so shortly after his death that many things were not yet known or for the simple fact that these writers had some integrity and avoided endless silly sketches on his life.
The book is also an easy read (I have had this book since 9). The photos are now old, but are mixed well in the book and a few I have not seen in other materials. This is a classic text, and a must for Bruce Lee fans.

Bruce Lee : Real Life Reader Biography
By Wayne Wilson
From the Publisher
Bruce Lee's dream was that one day he would be an international superstar. Through his vision and hard work his achievements are unparalleled.
Bruce Lee revolutionized the martial arts industry and did more to bring the fighting arts to the general public than any other person in the 20th century. He advanced the martial arts by daring to question its very principles and foundations. Martial arts schools throughout the world are filled with eager students who have been inspired by Lee's fighting style. The martial arts movie industry exploded with many films that tried to duplicate Bruce's success. Unfortunately, however, he never saw the full impact of his accomplishments. On July 20, 1973, he tragically died at the young age of 32, only one month before the premiere of his famous film, Enter the Dragon. His short life is best summed up by a quote from St. Augustine: The key to immortality is living a life worth remembering.
From The Critics
Children's Literature - Todd Moning
Many young readers may not have heard of Bruce Lee. After reading this book, however, they may be inspired to learn more about him, even watch one of his movies. Lee's dream of becoming an international superstar began in Hong Kong, where he not only learned kung fu (Chinese boxing), but also became obsessed by it. By age 18 he had won several kung fu championships and achieved teen-idol status by appearing in more than 20 films. At that time, his involvement with Chinese street gangs prompted his parents to move him to Seattle, Washington. There, he would face and overcome many other obstacles, including prejudice and physical injury, while teaching martial arts, attending college, and acting in television and film. Lee died at age 32, a month before his most famous movie opened. His kung fu skills influenced martial arts worldwide, and his personal drive inspired millions. Lee's story is a justified read for history and physical education classes. It can spark discussions about Hong Kong culture and the fighting arts; perhaps it will encourage fighting enthusiasts to channel their energy constructively and with the fervor of a Bruce Lee. Part of the "Real-Life Reader Biography" series.

Bruce Lee Fighting Spirit.
By Bruce Thomas
From the Publisher
Bruce Lee was an innovative martial artist, not only in the training hall but on film. He played Kato to the Green Hornet on the 1967-8 Twentieth Century Fox Television series of that name. He was the star of The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Game of Death, and Enter the Dragon. He also studied for a philosophy doctorate at the University of Washington and won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship as a teenager in 1958. A multifaceted charismatic figure who would stand out in a crowd of hundreds, he was also a family man who valued his privacy. From Hong Kong to California, the author has spoken with those who knew Bruce Lee well, and he brings to light much new information. We follow Bruce through his rowdy childhood, his early martial arts training, his journey to America to claim U.S. citizenship, his romances, fights, and meteoric course through Hollywood and the Hong Kong film industry. The book closes with a sweeping presentation of Bruce Lee's philosophy, followed by a comprehensive Bruce Lee source list for both film and print media.

Bruce Lee. The Incomparable Fighter
By M.Uyehara, J.Vaughan.
? Reviewer: A reader from Dumbarton, Scotland
M.Uyehara has written this interesting biography of Bruce Lee. The book describes his journey through Kung Fu and the development of his own style (Jeet Kune Do), and also the development of his own personal life and studies of oriental philosophy. This is not a text book of techniques and styles but is a story of one man's life. I enjoyed the book for its real time, accurate accounts, with pictures of his acting career and personal life. It could have been improved by the inclusion of some information on his techniques, and some diagrams. Though this information is available in other books such as Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Vol 1-4. I really enjoyed this book, it is an easy read and I would recommend it for anyone interested in martial arts.

An unparalleled study of the philosophical and historical legacy of Bruce Lee. For the average person, Bruce Lee was a brief star in the entertainment industry who spawned a pop culture kung fu craze. What most people don't know is that Bruce Lee was also an author, scholar, educator, and philosopher as well as a groundbreaking martial artist, and a person whose creative energy and desire to grow brought him the respect of hundreds of thousands of people. "Dynamic Becoming" is the culmination of several years of research into the philosophy of Bruce Lee.

Remembering Bruce Lee
By Jon Benn
Secret Art of Bruce Lee
Another facet of Bruce Lee explored in this book. It illustrated the heavy influence of his involvement with Wing Chun, which is not surprising when one considers that a lot of the photography shows a comparatively young Bruce. Check "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do" and Volumes 1-4 of "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method" for a more comprehensive analysis of the methods and training techniques employed. John Little's series of books should also be explored.

The Tao of Bruce Lee: A Martial Arts Memoir.
By Davis Miller, Editor : Doug pepper.
From the Publisher
In this companion volume to his critically acclaimed first book, The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller turns his attention to a second iconic figure of the twentieth century-and another of Miller's own seminal influences: film star and martial arts legend Bruce Lee.
Just weeks after completing Enter the Dragon, his first vehicle for a worldwide audience, Bruce Lee-the self-proclaimed world's fittest man-died mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. The film has since grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most profitable in the history of cinema, and Lee has acquired almost mythic status.
Lee was a flawed, complex, yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action moviemaking. But what has his legacy truly meant to the fans he left behind? To author Davis Miller, Lee was a profound mentor and a transformative inspiration. As a troubled young man in rural North Carolina, Miller was on a road to nowhere when he first saw Enter the Dragon, an encounter that would lead him on a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey and would change his life.
As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Miller brilliantly combines biography-the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date-with his own coming-of-age story. The result is a unique and compelling book.

Unsettled Matters: The Life and Death of Bruce Lee
By Tom Bleeker
From the Publisher
Considered one of the foremost authorities on Bruce Lee today, Tom Bleecker not only trained privately with Lee, but the two shared numerous mutual friends in the martial arts community as well as the Hollywood film industry. Moreover, Bleecker coauthored with Bruce's window Linda Lee The Bruce Lee Story, which served as the source material for MCA Universal's motion picture Dragon.
Unsettled Matters is the result of over four years of intense investigative research that led the author from the back alleys of Hong Kong to obscure court documents uncovered in Los Angeles and Seattle. Learn the shocking truth about the life and death of martial arts icon Bruce Lee. Discover why both the author and this publication company have been threatened with massive civil lawsuits if we dare publish the contents of this book.
