Our personal warrior spirit may be aggressive and intense or quietly lurking beneath the surface, but it exists in all of us, a crouching tiger waiting to be awakened. Some express it through words, laws, or money, while others do it with fists or weapons. Author Loren Christensen has had many opportunities to explore the warrior spirit over the past three decades - as a military policeman in Vietnam, as a 25-yeaar veteran of police work in Portland, Oregon, and as a martial artist since 1965. His stories, from the war-torn alleys of Saigon to the mean streets of Portland to the karate tournament ring, give a glimpse of the warrior spirit at work. In a laid-back style, he takes readers on a raucous tour that could only be led by someone who's been there and lived to talk about it.
