Table of Contents

Anyone with an interest in military firearms knows the names of the famous pistol inventors -- men like Luger, Walther and Nambu. But how many know anything at all about the men themselves...or what it was, exactly, that made their handgun designs groundbreaking? Presented as a series of biographies, this book tells the history of self-loading pistols through the careers of their inventors, accompanied by a detailed illustrated explanation of their mechanical innovations and the resulting iconic military semiautos.

Over 500 black & white illustrations, sketches and photos!
