Description
The Bruce Lee Society: A Retrospective Look at Bruce Lee Mania and the Kung Fu Craze of the 1970s For over seven years, The Bruce Lee Society was the UK's primary source of information and community for fans of Bruce Lee. Founded in 1976, the society produced 30 newsletters, which were later re-edited and re-printed in this book, along with updated notes and stories from the people who kept Bruce Lee's memory alive. This collection also includes over 150 QR code links to related videos, DVDs, and books. The Bruce Lee Society played a significant role in introducing Bruce Lee's unique talents to a wider audience in the UK. The society's success led to the first UK Bruce Lee convention in 1979, and an equally successful convention in 1980. Now, for the first time, the history of the society is being told in this book, offering a unique insight into the UK's fledgling Bruce Lee fanbase. With its collection of newsletters, updated notes, and stories, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Bruce Lee and the Kung Fu craze of the 1970s.
