At first Liberalism and Ancient and Modern square off against one another in the dusty city square. They circle, making faints, looking for an opening in their opponent's defenses. Ancient Liberalism strikes first, grappling with Modern. They strain, the sweat beeding on their brows as they try to gain advantage. Who will come out the victor? Will Ancient apply its fearsome sleeper hold? Will Ancient cheat, ignoring the rules of battle? Read Strauss' excellent, action packed novel in order to find out!
