Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history, causes, and consequences of duelling, a practice that has persisted in various forms for centuries, particularly among the upper classes. Exploring its prevalence in ancient Greece and Rome and its later adoption by medieval knights, the author traces the evolution of duelling from a means of settling disputes to a violent and often fatal custom rooted in the defense of personal honor. The author questions the validity of honor as a justification for duelling, arguing that true honor lies in seeking justice through legal channels and in respecting the sanctity of human life. They highlight the devastating impact of duels on families and communities, as well as their failure to deter the very offenses they are intended to avenge. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex factors that have fueled duelling throughout history, shedding light on its enduring appeal and its profound consequences. It invites readers to reconsider the concept of honor and to embrace a more enlightened approach to conflict resolution that values human life and the rule of law.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes dueling's history, from its origins to the modern era, and examines its place within society. The author argues that dueling is a result of the inadequacy of the law and proposes that strengthening the law could prevent the practice. The author posits that the impunity with which the practice is currently met permits the practice to flourish and that by punishing those who participate, the practice could be eliminated. The author concludes by suggesting that a weak legal system fosters either tyranny or licentiousness within government and that dueling serves as an example of the latter.
