American Shooter A Personal History of Gun Culture in the United States

"An informative and enjoyable excursion both historical and personal. Souter sets out the problem of the polarization in public debate about guns. He seeks to separate 'myths and truth' and 'insights and blunders.' This book is not about the Second Amendment controversy. Yet Souter explores the nature of our gun culture and how deeply ingrained it is, both personally and individually, and broadly throughout American society." From the foreword by Gordon Morris Bakken, professor of history, California State University, Fullerton
