Saber Exercise 1914

George S Patton

For any budding duellist looking for a few pointers on swordsmanship, this instruction manual was written for the United States War Department by Patton while he was still a young cavalry officer in the US Army. The book includes illustrations from which you can hone your technique, all taken from Patton’s experience as a fencer and modern pentathlete in the 1912 Olympics.
