Advance Praise for "AK-47"
"During the past half century, the AK-47 assault rifle has
established itself as the most ubiquitous implement of destruction
on the planet. No other gun comes close for its durability, low
price, ease of operation, and sheer killing power. It has become a
mainstay of armies and terrorists alike, and a universal icon of
revolutionary upheaval. Larry Kahaner's book is the best history of
this weapon that I have seen. "AK-47: The Weapon That Changed the
Face of War" will appeal to anyone who has ever watched the History
Channel--or the evening news."
--Max Boot, senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations author of
"The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American
Power"
"Anyone who has fought or watched a war over the last
half-century recognizes the AK-47, but few know much about it.
Kahaner traces the rifle's role in wars from Vietnam to Iraq and
from Central America to Central Africa. A fascinating biography of
a weapon that has truly changed world history."
--Stephen Kinzer, author of "Overthrow: America's Century of
Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq"
