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’s was a flawed, complex yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action movie-making. As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller brilliantly combines biography – the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date – with his own coming-of-age autobiography. The result is a unique and compelling book.
