The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia by John Corcoran

The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia by John Corcoran

The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia offers readers and fans a comprehensive A-to-Z look at everything related to Jackie Chan and his unparalleled popularity and success. Regularly referred to as the world's biggest superstar, Jackie Chan has enjoyed more then three full decades of celebrity, and was only the second (after Bruce Lee) Asian star to gain full acceptance by - even domination of - the American pop film genre. The book's A-to-Z format is another huge "hook" here - besides Chan's perennial popularity. (And, since Chan produces at least one major US movie each year, his continued popularity and presence is virtually guaranteed.) This encyclopedic approach has been used successfully for other genre books, such as Encyclopedia Madonnica (not ours), but it has never been done for Jackie Chan. Acclaimed author John Corcoran (The Ultimate Martial Arts Q & A Book, Summer 2001), has spent his entire professional life in the martial arts and martial arts journalism. He is well connected and well positioned to support the book as needed. This is a very strong, timely addition to our martial arts list! (This book is not authorized by Jackie Chan or his companies or representatives.)

John Corcoran is recognized as one of the world's premier martial arts authors and journalists, with seven martial arts books, countless articles, and the screenplay for "American Samurai" to his credit. He is a veteran black belt in karate, which he has studied for more than thirty years.
