The Art of Swordsmanship by Hans Lecküchner by
2.0
I really wanted to like this, and to make my way from beginning to end, but outside of the part about throwing someone into a sack, I couldn't.
The translation is ok, but there's a lot of flipping to the glossary in the back - it would have, imo, just been easier to keep the German terms in, then having to look up English terms as well. There's no transcription of the original treatise, although this can be defended by the length of the treatise.
On the positive side, the introductory essay is decent, and there is a good bibliography to go for further research.
