Gentlemen's Blood: A History of Duelling
By Barbara Holland
This book RULED. A quick, funny read, it is full of anecdotes and statistics both, so you get an accurate picture of what she's trying to tell but also get a feeling for the emotional aspect of things. Duelling has a long and varied history and it's really interesting to read about how different countries handled it at different times. Utterly fascinating stuff, especially if you're a bit bloodthirsty.
Book 4 in 2007
