Comprehensive Asian fighting arts

Donn F. Draeger

This is a history of Asian fighting arts with lots of pictures from Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, China, Russia, India and Burma. The authors were Americans who had a deep interest in Martial Arts and collaborated on this fabulous book. I remember first discovering it in the library at about 12 years old. It was in the reference section, which always featured some really amazing Martial Arts tomes.
