"Drawing on his legendary firearms knowledge and combat experience, U.S. Navy SEAL and #1 bestselling author of American Sniper Chris Kyle dramatically chronicles the story of America — from the Revolution to the present — through the lens of ten iconic guns and the remarkable heroes who used them to shape history:
- the American long rifle
- Spencer repeater
- Colt .45 revolver
- Winchester 1873 rifle
- Springfield M1903 rifle
- M1911 pistol
- Thompson submachine gun
- M1 Garand
- .38 Special police revolver
- M16 rifle - the platform Kyle himself used.
American Gun is a sweeping epic of bravery, adventure, invention, and sacrifice.
Featuring a foreword and afterword by his wife Taya Kyle and illustrated with more than 100 photographs, this new paperback edition features a bonus chapter, “The Eleventh Gun,” on shotguns, derringers, and the Browning M2 machine gun.[1]
