RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewA magisterial work of narrative history and original reportage ... McWhirter and Elinson, reporters at The Wall Street Journal, unspool the...story with admirable restraint; you can feel the tension building one cold, catastrophic fact at a time ... With commanding authority, American Gun lays out the unvarnished truth about an industry where the conversion of fear into profit, along with an ever-mounting civilian body count, causes few pangs of conscience. Policymakers and the public alike have much to learn from it.
