reviewed Martial Arts in the Modern World on August 10, 2014 Martial Arts in the Modern World
This book is a short history mostly about the political history of Taekwondo. While I enjoyed some of what it is written here, I found the politics to be taxing and boring. Martial arts is most interesting to me when you are as far away from politics as possible. Because of this, this book wasn't incredibly interesting to to me. Now, that being said, it did have some enlightening sections with sources that are to be commended. When the history of the art and its development is being talked about this book is as its best for me. However, that is the minority of the time. If you are interested specifically in the politics of the art, then this book will probably be of much more interest to you than it was to me.
