Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: First rate historical work. Comment: A well researched book. An excellent source to use as reference book. Since it was published in the early 70's many other books have been written on the topic. But few can compare to Draeger's fine work. Customer Rating: Summary: If you practice a martial art, read this book! Comment: It is the best book on the concepts behind the arts that I've ever read. Draeger gives outstanding insights into the origins, history and myths of the major martial arts forms that can only come from a true authority. He puts the development of the modern arts into perspective by presenting a cohesive explanation of the times, politics and motives of their development. His writing can be a bit hard to follow at times, but overall the book is well organized and spellbinding. Customer Rating: Summary: Donn Dreager tells it Like It is! Comment: In over 43 years of martial arts and thousands of books,this book is the supreme historical work on modern arts such as Judo,Karate,Aikido,and Shorinji Kempo. Donn pulls no punches which may insult some Shorinji Kempo teachers but the truth is the truth.And as the tired old adage says "The Truth will set you free" BUY THIS BOOK! More Reviews
