Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon (Bruce Lee Library)
A behind-the-scenes look at the life of the most extraordinary martial artist of all timeâ€”Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon is a photographic catalog of all facets of this fascinating man, from the start of his career to his untimely and tragic death in 1973. This book reveals a quiet family man behind the charismatic public persona. It shows the real Bruce Leeâ€”the man who was so much more than an international film and martial arts celebrity.

This brilliant photo essayâ€”compiled and edited by Bruce Lee expert John Little with the assistance of Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwellâ€”reveals never-before-published family photos, including rare photos of Bruce's childhood in Hong Kong. Tender moments with his children are caught on camera, and action shots from his martial arts films are shown.

With a preface by his daughter Shannon Lee and a foreword by wife Linda, the text is drawn directly from Bruce Lee's own diaries and journals. Based on the award-winning Warner Bros. documentary, Bruce Lee: In His Own Words, sections include:
- Chronology of the Life of Bruce Lee
- Early Yearsâ€”why he began studying gung fu (kung fu) and took up wing chun, his first starring role, and his return to the US
- Hollywoodâ€”why he got the part in The Green Hornet, teaching Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Stirling Silliphant, filming Enter the Dragon, The Way of the Dragon, Fist of Fury and more, training and acting with Chuck Norris, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dean Martin and Sharon Tate, and the creation of Jeet Kune Do (JKD)
- Familyâ€”meeting Linda, having children, daily life
