As the woke mob continues to rifle through the history books looking for icons to topple, it’s almost certain they will eventually get to firearms inventor John Browning. Thanks to a well-researched and very readable new biography, The Guns of John Moses Browning: The Remarkable Story of the Inventor Whose Firearms Changed the World, he’ll likely come into their crosshairs sooner rather than later.
Journalist Gorenstein (Tommy Gun Winter) offers a meticulously detailed biography of the self-taught firearms inventor known as 'the Thomas Edison of guns.'
Gorenstein delivers a technically detailed life of John Moses Browning ... The result is a text gun collectors and historians of armaments will cherish, though nonspecialists may get bogged down in such technical matters ... Gorenstein clearly demonstrates how most of the world’s guns, from the AK-47 to the latest Sig Sauer pistols, draw on Browning’s designs of more than a century ago, and he tallies many of the known assets of Browning’s estate and those of his heirs. However, he avoids reckoning with the human costs ... A dense journey through an ocean of iron and blood best suited for gun enthusiasts.
