Customer Reviews

Thoroughly researched.

If you are/were in the military or have ever wondered why, this is THE bible on the modern American small arms procurement process. It reads like a novel of sorts detailing things that happened to lead up to our current M-16 rifle. Be prepared, if you're not interested in the back-story on firearms, this book is not for you. If you are, there were few writers as qualified to write this story.
