American gun a history of the U.S. in ten firearms

Kyle, Chris, 1974-2013.
Large Print 2013

Chris Kyle tracks down and shoots the most important American firearms, from a flintlock rifle to a Colt revolver to the latest high-tech weapon he used as a SEAL. He uses these guns as a window on United States history, making the sweeping argument that the American story has been tied to and shaped by the gun.
