Bruce Lee: A Life

By Matthew Polly ’95

Published May 23, 2018

Matthew Polly ’95 writes an authoritative account of film star Bruce Lee’s life. Lee made martial arts popular, bridged the divide between Eastern and Western cultures, and challenged stereotypes of Asians. Bruce Lee (Simon & Schuster) is based on many interviews with Lee’s family members, friends, and business associates and explores Lee’s life from his early childhood as a film star in Hong Kong to the circumstances around his sudden death at age 32.
