The History and Art of Personal Combat
Wise traces the development of the theory and practice of individual combat from the earliest descriptions, David and Goliath, through the heyday of the sword fight will all the formality of its science, to the techniques used in the American West, in commando raids and in gang warfare.
Vintage engravings, line art, photographs, and other illustrations grace nearly every page and the author touches on other types of modern weapons, including rifles and handguns.
