An In-Depth History of the AK-47

Tools of Modern Terror

Very rarely do you read anything about Firearms in the New York Times that is not liberal biased dribble and excrement that seeks to vilify firearms as the culprit to society’s ills. But this article by C.J. Chivers, a Marine and author of The Gun, a historical tour-de-force of the history of the AK-47, is anything but a “Blame it on the Gun” kind of article. It is an in-depth history of the AK Weapon system, with a good dose of military, terrorism and guerilla warfare history thrown in for good measure. A Really worthwhile read for the Firearm Enthusiast and History buff.
