Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book charts the evolution of the firearm from its earliest inception to its current dominance as the most versatile and deadly weapon in human history. The device we recognize today as the firearm is a mere 500 years old, an infant in the timeline of human history and yet within that time it has revolutionized humanity's capacity for war and brought about profound social change. From the matchlock to the musket to the first revolvers, from flintlock to percussion cap, from single shot to bolt action, the evolution of the firearm is one of constant refinement toward greater power, speed and accuracy. The author traces the development of this deadly technology alongside the social and political contexts that both fueled its development and were shaped by it. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in firearms, history, or the impact of technology on society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334186936_0
