Karate, It's History and Practice, by Koyama Masashi, Wada Koji, and Kadekaru Toru, translated by Alexander Bennett, and published by the Nippon Budokan.  I am not enjoying this book nearly as much.  More overview, less of the digging that Clarke did in his books.

As I got further into this book, it was less about the actual history of Karate, but more along the lines of "how we finally got Karate into the Olympics."  I did not really enjoy it at all.

Now I'm reading Patrick McCarthy's translation of Bubishi, the Classical Manual of Combat.  Been a Martial Artist since 1993 and have not read this book...I know, I don't know what's wrong with me.  It's the first title I've read by McCarthy, but I intend to be changing that as well.  It's the version published in 2016 by Tuttle.
