Fencing: Steps to Success (Steps to Success Activity Series)

by: Elaine Cheris
If you are looking for a super basic book on fencing with 75% of the content being exercises and little workout routines, this is the book for you. If you are looking for something with ANY depth on the subject look anywhere but here. I returned this book on principle I was so dissapointed with it.

One Touch At A Time: Psychological Aspects Of Fencing

by: Aladar Kogler
This book has good psychological information for all sports participants, especially fencing. As someone who started fencing at age 60, and as someone who was never that great at sports, this book continues to help me deal with negative/self-defeating feelings, and helps me to keep a positive outlook. I am still reading this book, but have already put it to use dealing with my own self-imposed stress during fencing bouts. I feel my goals are now more realistic, and I enjoy the training more than ever.

The Fencing Master

by: Arturo Perez-Reverte
This is my first time reading this author. I really enjoyed the book. I was most impressed with how the author was able to create a certain depth of character so that it became more than just an action novel. The insights given on the main character made the ending so much more poignant. His meetings with his friends could be somewhat compared to a kind of Greek chorus commenting on the state of Spain at the time.I feel that the author is writing for the mass market so what might be somewhat more detailed in a weighter novel is not found here.

By the Sword: A History of Gladiators, Musketeers, Samurai, Swashbucklers, and Olympic Champions (Modern Library Paperbacks)

by: Richard Cohen
Richard Cohen attempted a major feat with this book and I believe that it was not up to the mark in all respects because of the breadth of subjects covered. An analogy would be writing a history of driving and having readers interested in one aspect complain that their pet subject was not covered enough. I fear that I am one of those readers. I bought the book with an interest in the combat use and development of the sword. While Cohen does write about that, it seemed that several thousands of years of western history were brushed over in a chapter with little coverage of the development and use of the sword.
