| Publisher Description: Shorn of Little Sissy Things is a brutally hip view of ancient combat from the perspective of a modern stick-fighter, machete-duelist and boxing coach. The author offers a fighter's view of ancient life, not the sissified backward looking dreamscape of the armchair mastermind, but the 'oh, yeah, that would work' matter-of-fact view shared by those who fight. Includes: When Heroes Fought The 10 Worst Ancient Military Jobs Gladiators and Bodybuilders The Award Winning essay Little Sissy Things a critical bibliography, and more |
