By the sword : gladiators, musketeers, Samurai warriors, swashbucklers, and olympians

Cohen, Richard, 1947-2003
Books
Above all this book portrays the character of fencing - at once graceful, balletic, rough, technically beautiful and fiercely competitive. Richard Cohen traces these subtleties, the passions that it arouses in its players and explains his personal devotion to this ancient art.
