Description

When fighting for honour has tragic consequences... In modern society the thought that someone would organise a deadly competition with a rival, risking his life over a point of honour, is incomprehensible.

That this form of resolution would become an accepted 'sport', with noble gentlemen even possessing sets of special duelling pistols, is insane.

This fascinating history of the practice of duelling takes the reader into the intriguing world of pistols, 'fields of honour' and mortal combat, a world where complex rules governed a system of dispute which often ended in death.

With tales of tragic loss, ridiculous quarrels and often hilarious combat, John Norris takes the reader on a journey of discovery through some of the most dramatic disputes of history.
