Description: This massive and detailed examination of the story of individual combat is sold by the author, Paul Kirchner, who will sign it. Originally published by Paladin, he now self-publishes an identical edition. Kirchner is also the author of "The Deadliest Men," "Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad," "More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived," and "Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques." Researching memoirs, trial transcripts and period newspapers, Paul Kirchner has uncovered a wealth of first-person and eyewitness accounts of deadly duels - many translated into English for the first time. More than 60 encounters with the sword or pistol are discussed in detail, covering a span of 400 years. Also covered are such oddities as horseback duels, bowie knife duels, and suicide duels. Chapters are devoted to such notorious duelists as "Fighting" Fitzgerald, Aaron Burr, Alexander McClung, and Benito Mussolini. Kirchner also discusses honor and insult, dueling weapons and techniques, and dueling codes. Numerous vintage etchings and prints give added life to the accounts. This is a paperback book, 468 pages, measuring 8.5" x 5.5".
