Sabre Fencing by Károly Leszák: Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre Series Vol. 2

Sabre Fencing by Karoly Leszak, edited and translated by Russ Mitchell and Zalan Szalai, is the second volume in the Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre series, tracing the Radaelli lineage that became dominant in Austro-Hungarian sabre fencing. This work situates Hungary's later dominance in Olympic sabre fencing within its historical roots, examining how northern Italian technique took hold and evolved within the Hungarian tradition.

Building on the foundation established in the series' first volume, this book explores the specific technical lineage that shaped competitive Hungarian sabre fencing well into the 20th century, offering essential context for understanding the sport's Austro-Hungarian origins.

A valuable addition for sabre students and historians tracing the development of modern competitive sabre fencing back to its Austro-Hungarian military roots.
