THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FOLLOW-UP TO AMERICAN SNIPER
Join Chris Kyle on a fascinating journey to discover “how 10 firearms changed United States history” (New York Times Book Review)
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’s military history—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, and the M16 rifle platform Kyle himself used. American Gun is a sweeping epic of bravery, adventure, invention, and sacrifice.
Featuring a foreword and afterword by Chris's 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.
In this riveting look at firearms history, you’ll discover:
- Ten Iconic Guns: Follow the evolution of American firepower, from the American long rifle of the Revolution and the classic Colt .45 revolver of the Wild West to the M16 rifle platform Chris Kyle himself used.
- Legendary Heroes: Meet the remarkable soldiers, lawmen, and inventors who used these firearms to forge a nation, told with the unique perspective of a modern-day warrior.
- U.S. Navy SEAL Expertise: Gain a unique insight as Chris Kyle draws on his personal combat experience and deep firearms knowledge to explain what made each weapon revolutionary.
- A Journey Through History: Experience pivotal moments, from the Civil War and the taming of the frontier to the battlefields of the modern era, all told through the lens of the guns that shaped them.
