AMERICAN GUN A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms

by | Read by John Pruden

History • 7 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2013

The authors examine American history through 10 guns that have been important in our nation's development. The analysis covers the American long rifle (a rifled musket), the six-shooter of the Old West, the Tommy gun of the Roaring Twenties, and today's military rifle, among others. Far from a polemic on gun rights, the discussion shows how advances in technology shaped the country and its military. John Pruden offers a straightforward narration. He's believable as the authors when they interject themselves into the text. However, the periodic use of profanity, while easy to gloss over in print, can be a bit jarring when heard. Also, the book moves along in the historical sections but bogs down in the technical passages. R.C.G. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2013]
