Content:
When duelling became widespread in early twentieth-century Uruguay, legislators facing this dilemma chose the unique and radical path of legalization. This book vividly explores how the only country in the world to decriminalize duelling managed the tension between these informal but widely accepted "gentlemanly laws" and its own criminal code.
