Sure to be controversial, this book is a must-read for every epeeist (and his or her coach). An inspiring story of triumph against odds, it's also a how-to book on how to win with less talent--how to "kill" classical fencing--why "all they do is jump around and crash into each other" -- and why it's all Johan Harmenberg's "fault." Johan is the 1977 World Champion and 1980 Olympic Champion in individual epee. He's a world-renowned research scientist but still finds time to train the Swedish team.
