Like most book people l always read the reviews before purchasing books and other material. Even though some of the reviews of this book (The Mammoth Book of Tough Guys, edited by Robin Barratt) were not good; nevertheless, I decided to purchase this volume. Personally, I was glad I ignored the bad reviews of this book because I really loved it. May be it was because I was able to relate to many of the stories and the combative sports and activities (Boxing, Wrestling, Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do etc.) these people engaged in their lives. Even though I did not like some of these characters I admit to liking the vast majority of these tough people. As someone who has been a lifelong student (and instructor) of numerous martial arts and other combative and weapon arts I have also known many tough guys (as well as some tough women).This page turning interesting book is filled with the personal stories of a wide variety of men, as well as one woman, who have shown the special quality of being not just physically tough, but also has the heart of a warrior. Surprisingly I was familiar with many of the people, including the ones from Great Britain etc. Some of my favorite stories include the following: Geoff Thomas, martial artist and bouncer, Thomas Silverstein, the most feared convict in the U.S.A., Charles Bronson, Britain’s most violent prisoner, Dave “Boy” Green, Forder British and European Welterweight boxing champion, John Brawn, Ireland’s leading self-defense instructor, “Big” Joe Egan, Irish Heavy weight boxer, Kimberly Wood, Female police officer, Luciano Leggio, (Italy) hitman and enforcer, Ali and Tyson, former heavyweight boxing champions, Jake La Motta, Former Middle weight boxing champion and many, many other interesting stories.
