THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FOLLOW-UP TO AMERICAN SNIPER

Join Chris Kyle on a journedy 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—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 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.

Not to be confused with "American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15" by Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson. This book, co-written by the author of American Sniper, who was killed by a gun, is the one that tries to paint guns as glorious agents of progress and not weapons of murder. Consider that your trigger warning

This is an excellent book if you want to be introduced to iconic American firearms. The book was co-written by firearms expert and American hero Chris Kyle.
I found it especially interesting that it included a story of a Thompson submachine gun (also known as Chicago Typewriter).
Auto Ordnance recently resurrected Thompson's design as model 1927A1, and gun collectors and firearms enthusiasts can buy it from select FFL dealers at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, it comes without a violin case.
