The AK-47, or 'Kalashnikov', is the most abundant and efficient
firearm on earth. It is so light it can be used by children. It has
transformed the way we fight wars, and its story is the chilling
story of modern warfare. C. J. Chivers's extraordinary new book
tells an alternative history of the world as seen through these
terrible weapons. He traces them back to their origins in the early
experiments of Gatling and Maxim, and examines the first appearance
of the machine-gun. The quest for ever greater firepower and
mobility culminated in the AK-47 at the beginning of the Cold War,
a weapon so remarkable that, over sixty years after its invention
and having broken free of all state control, it has become central
to civil wars all over the world.
