Used Book in Good Condition
Researching memoirs, trial transcripts and period newspapers, Paul Kirchner has uncovered a wealth of eyewitness accounts of deadly duels - many translated into English for the first time. More than 60 encounters with the sword or pistol are covered, including horseback duels, bowie knife duels, suicide duels and profiles of such notorious duelists as "Fighting" Fitzgerald, Aaron Burr and Benito Mussolini.
