Gentlemen's Blood, A History of Dueling: Bloomsbury, 2003

cover Gentlemens Blood book
GENTLEMEN'S BLOOD is represented by
Folio Literary Management.
     From knights in armor to American newspaper editors, honor called for combat. A Smithsonian Selection.

     "A splendid account.... Never, never did I imagine that dueling could be, as a strictly historical subject, so enthralling, outrageous, gruesome, tragic and, yes, ridiculous.... Lively humor and sparkling prose."

                --The Wall Street Journal

     "High-spirited history of the art.... Holland cheerfully, airily describes the many forms the duel has taken over the centuries."
                --Los Angeles Times

     "Nifty little book that's well worth reading ... compulsively interesting.... Holland's tone is absolutely, drop-dead astonishing, snarky and informative... After you read this book, give it to someone you like."
                --Fort Worth Star-Telegram
