Which Lukovich Book?

For the competitive foil fencer, which one and why?

Electric Foil Fencing: Advanced Competitive Training
or, Fencing the Modern International Style

Would appreciate any comments...

Electric Foil Fencing has a lot more explanation of foil and drills laid out for you.

Modern International Style includes some drills, but is more concerned with showing how fencing has morphed from the "classical" style to the game that it is today, with emphasis on new techniques.

Over time you'll get more out of the Foil Fencing book, but the writing is pretty dense, so it will take you some time to get through it all.

Hope that helps,
Craig

Keep in mind that both books were originally written about 30 years ago, so while they're both far more relevant to competitive fencing than anything by Gaugler or Evangelista, they're still not fully up-to-date.
