Summary: It Was Mass Marketed, Hurried, but Nostalgic
Comment: Alex Ben Block, somewhat known the time, produces a hurried bio on Lee soon after his death, as Dell capitalizes on the death of Bruce and the Kung Fu craze. Block makes several terminology mistakes, which was much more common in the 70s when non-martial artists were largely ignorant of terms and definitions. This is an irritant, but nothing more.

Block tries to get a "feeling" about Bruce Lee's pressures, the events surrounding him, and the Hong Kong movie business - here he largely succeeds. He succeeds in the Hollywood - Hong Kong connection, but largely fails in his martial arts knowledge and those circles where Bruce walked, taught, and associated in.

My biggest disagreement? Block finds Return of the Dragon (Way of the Dragon)to be Lee's worse movie - it is my personal favorite.
