The National Book Review, an online journal about new books with leading journalists and critics as contributors, has chosen American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15 as one of its "Five Hot Books" this week. NBR writes: "The Wall Street Journal reporters deftly detail the rifle’s technical evolution into an easy-to-use, lightweight device requested by the Army into a deadly weapon, its popularity supported by the NRA and private equity. Engrossing, authoritative and deeply reported, American Gun captures the horrific tragedies wrought by this weapon that has fiercely divided America."
