It wasn’t that long ago that dueling was an accepted practice in many parts of the world. In fact, duels were once considered an honorable way to solve a problem. The American navy actually included the Code Duello, the rules for conducting a duel, in its handbook until 1862. Readers are introduced to the special language of dueling and the famous people who participated in duels—or narrowly avoided them—including Andrew Jackson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Alexander Hamilton. Surprising facts are highlighted in sidebars throughout the text, such as the common practice of purposefully shooting away from one’s opponent. Dynamic images and illustrations transport readers back to the days of pistols drawn at dawn.

In this compact collection, "settling the score" provides a fascinating apparatus for exploring foundational civilizing ideas. Notions of courage, cowardice, and revenge course through Michael Garriga's flash fiction pieces, each one of which captures a duel's decisive moment from three distinct perspectives: opposing accounts from the individual duelists, followed by the third account of a witness. In razor-honed language, the voices of the duelists take center stage, training a spotlight on the litany of misguided beliefs and perceptions that lead individuals into such conflicts.
