The art and science of sword fighting goes back almost to the dawn
of civilization and has been an obsession for much of mankind
throughout recorded history. From the Roman arena to feudal Japan
and from the duellists of Europe to the development of modern-day
Olympic fencing, Richard Cohen traces the course of swordsmanship
with wit and erudition in a fascinating and wonderfully discursive
account. Packed with anecdote, superbly written and built on a
solid foundation of historical research, this is a tribute to a
deadly but beautiful skill, the mastery of which for centuries
defined a man.
