About this ebook
The man behind every gun manufactured today.
John Browning was the most influential gun designer who ever lived. After building his first firearm aged thirteen, he went on to create a series of radical blueprints for pistols, rifles and machine guns that changed the way wars were fought and streets were policed.
But who was the man behind the weapons? How did he manage to revolutionise the way guns worked? And what drove him to keep innovating right through his life?
A short must-read for gun collectors, enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history of firearms from bestselling thriller writer James Barrington.
