Somewhat out of date of course, but very detailed description and analysis. Nice addition to any fencing library. Great picture of the USN Academy fencing loft.

This book covers fencing as it was traditionally taught from the turn of the century until the early 60's. It's well organized and although most of the attitudes re. the primacy of the french grip foil etc. are outmoded, it is a great primer on traditional fencing. Of special interest to the student are the lesson plans included in the book.

As an epee fencer, I have found Deladrier's understanding of the fundamentals of the game to be unsurpassed. Granted, times have changed, & so have the equipment & the game, but his statement of the basic principles of epee fencing still hold. Chapter VIII "Practical Advice" in the epee section is worth the price of the book.
