review 1: The biography and history of the 'American Rifle', it is a well written and decent look at the culture, history and politics involved in the standard long arm of the US military. I managed to read this book a little too quickly. I found the author had me wanting to know more in some chapters and perhaps a little less in other areas. I do highly suggest this book for any one interested in firearms, military history or US history in general.84 %
review 2: Simply put, this book was fairly amazing.Who would have thought you could read a whole book about Rifles and find it interesting from beginning to end.from the origin of the musket, the riffling process where its name comes from, to the historical movements influenced by its use..this reads like a meandering p... morelotline with no standardized characters.it was very rare when i felt like i was slogging through a text book, and more often like i was watching a well written history channel segment.. minus the commercials of course :)--xpost RawBlurb.com less
