The Dragon and the Tiger, Volume 1: The Birth of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do by Campbell, Sid. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781583940891.

In 1962 author Greglon Lees father, martial arts expert James Yimm Lee, joined forces with the future superstar Bruce Lee (1940-1973) to form the Jun Fan Gung-fu Institute, now considered the birthplace of Jeet Kune Do. Their relationship was crucial in Lees progression from unknown student to celebrated master, shaping Lees ideology and outlook on the martial arts for years to come. Using extensive interviews with dozens of Bruces students and contemporaries as well as anecdotes based on rare documents and family history, the authors present an engaging picture of Bruce Lee as an extraordinarily talented young man who was also a warm and caring person. This insiders look at Bruce Lees formative years also outlines the development of Lees legendary skills between 1962 and 1965, an era previously unchronicled.
