Product Description
Synopsis
This sharp, often playful, cultural critique of the German duel, the deadliest type of one-on-one combat in fin-de-siecle Germany, questions what it took "to be a man". From initial provocation to final death agony, the book invites the reader into the complex mindset and protocol of the duel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best recent work on the subject, 13 April 1998
By A Customer
Insightful, witty, and iconoclastic, Kevin McAleer's study of the duel in fin-de-siecle Germany is essential reading. McAleer brings to light a whole subject essential to the development of the modern mind-set, but which has previously been almost ignored by historians. Read alongside Peter Gay's "The Cultivation of Hatred" and "The Naked Self," one gains new insights into the culture of both the ninteenth and twentieth centuries.
