Yup. I've read it. It's good ... but a little skimpy. It touches on the key points of his life ... but doesn't go into a lot of detail about some things and it left me wanting more in several places. I don't know why this was.

However, it is a good read and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about Guro Dan.

Regards, Mike
