Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the violent history of dueling, following its evolution from ancient rituals to modern absurdities.

The author traces the evolution of dueling from these early beginnings to the days of chivalry, and finally to the modern era. Along the way, the author examines the social and cultural factors that have influenced the development of dueling, including the rise of the warrior class, the influence of the church, the development of the concept of honor, and the rise of the modern nation-state. The book offers a fascinating look at a practice that has been both revered and reviled throughout history.
