John Pruden
At the time of his tragic death in February 2013, former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the most accomplished sniper in U.S. military history, was finishing a remarkable book that retold American history through the lens of a hand-selected list of firearms. Kyle masterfully argues that guns have played a fascinating, indispensable, and often under-appreciated role in our national story.
Kyle carefully chose ten guns to help tell his story, including the American long rifle, Colt .45 revolver, Winchester rifle, .38 police handgun, and M-16 rifle platform Kyle himself used as a SEAL. This is also the story of how American innovation, creativity, and industrial genius has constantly pushed technology - and U.S. power - forward.

What did you love best about American Gun?
Very interesting tidbits of American history and how guns helped to shape the country that we are. Without these guns, we would be a far different country and not for the good.What did you like best about this story?
The story is the story of America and how we came to be and how guns helped to form that country that we know and love. Anyone with a love for America will love this book.What about John Pruden’s performance did you like?
It was an excellent performance. Very appropriate for the material.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This book would not be appropriate for a movie but perhaps a documentary diving into each of the 10 guns.Any additional comments?
People with a fear of guns should read or listen to this book to see how important the gun was in the formation of this country.A great piece of American history for everyone.

If you read the description of this book and thought it sounded interesting, get it, it’s doubly so. As a lifelong lover and history, firearms, and the military I almost passed on this book because I thought it had nothing to offer me. A lot of the information I was well aware well and familiar with. Yet the way he weaves history, first hand accounts and technical information together create a book that was still great to listen to.
If you aren’t familiar with this kind of stuff, you will be very entertained. It is a fantastic story, built on a really interesting and original take on the subject.
John Pruden is one of my favorite readers and having listened to several of his works I came away thinking that they could have chose no one better for the job.
Give it a listen, you wont regret it.
Fantastic book for gun lovers and pretty much anyone else.
