The first international biography of Niels Bukh (1880-1950), the charismatic founder of the special Danish school of modern gymnastics. His team of young elite gymnasts travelled around the world demonstrating his gymnastics, and in Japan his school still attracts thousands of pupils. Bukh's private life and his fascination with Hitler makes him a very controversial figure even fifty years after his death.
Dr. Hans Bonde is a professor at the Institute of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
