Title: Arrogance at its worst
Product review: Technically, this book is not a disaster: the basics of sport fencing are covered reasonably enough.But the author has no respect for the tradition of fencing, nor does he come off as being more than anything than a "Sport Fencer" and semi-literate jock who has nothing but his own glorification in mind when he writes.The most intolerable and tedious part of this tome is the "Fencing Journal." I must applaud whoever his maestro was, because he must have had the patience of a saint to put up with the author's temper tantrums, disgraceful behavior and overall infantilism.This book is asinine. I would highly recommend Nick Evangelista's books and BY THE SWORD by Cohen for a true sentiment de fer. Avoid this piece of garbage like the plague, or if you must sbject yourself, get it at the local library.
