PRAISE FOR
AMERICAN GUN
Publishers Weekly: "Wall Street Journal reporters McWhirter (Red Summer) and Elinson tell a captivating tale of unintended consequences in this deeply researched history of the AR-15...The result is a fascinating genealogy of a weapon that has become the flashpoint of the contemporary gun control debate."
Jonathan Eig, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning King: A Life: "American Gun is an unforgettable story of American ingenuity and mayhem, built with hard-core reporting and gripping prose. This is social history at its finest."
Andrew DeMillo of the Associated Press: "The well-reported book is vital for anyone who wants to understand how Stoner’s creation transformed over time into what the authors call the 'fulcrum of America’s great gun divide.' "
James Pekoll: “This is an excellent, thoroughly researched synthesis…presented in an even-handed manner that has the potential to bridge the divide between all but the most committed partisans. Such a highly charged subject deserves a well-written analysis, grounded in facts and presented with journalistic detachment, and McWhirter and Elinson deliver on all counts.”
