Summary

A fascinating glimpse of the private Bruce Lee behind the public image -- a man with the patience and concern to dedicate as much effort to crafting a thoughtful personal answer to the letter of a young fan as to those from his old friends and associates; an extremely active man never too busy to make time for an old family friend in need of simple companionship; a man who never wrote without careful thought, and never thought from head alone, but always from the head and heart together. The letters in this inspiring book track Bruce Lee's career and development from his decision -- made while he was still in secondary school -- to move to the US to further his education, through the many setbacks, rededicated efforts and triumphs of life that shaped his martial art and humanity, all the way to the last letter he ever composed, just hours before his sudden death. --Adapted from back cover
