AK47 : the story of a gun

"Power, politics, and passion combine in the story of an invention that has helped shape the modem world. Using the individual testimonies of men and women whose lives have been forever altered by the weapon - including a Sudanese child soldier, a Vietcong veteran, and two Yorkshire students who attended terrorist training camps in Pakistan - Michael Hodges tells the fascinating story of the world's most ubiquitous gun, from its origins in the Soviet Union, through its rebirth in the hands of third world revolutionaries, to its current status as the brand leader in international terrorism."--BOOK JACKET
