American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms

Former Navy SEAL (and the best sniper in U.S. history) Chris Kyle tells looks at the role of 10 guns in American history.

Not a book for the anti-gun crowd.  I particularly enjoyed some of the insights about how weapons developed over the years to meet particular needs (usually those of the military and the police).

Read reviews from the Christian Science Monitor and Goodreads.

Tragically, Mr. Kyle was killed earlier this year (before this book was published) while helping a troubled veteran adjust to civilian life.
