Naval & Military Press: Death or Dishonour The World and Weapons of the Duellist. A complete history of the fascinating sport of duelling.

Duelling has always been a subject that attracts the imagination. In this new study by Fred Wilkinson, the history of duelling is reviewed with some fascinating anecdotes researched from the Proceedings of the Old Bailey.
