Machine
Gun: The Story of the Men and the Weapon That Changed the Face of War
by Anthony Smith
Book Description: The machine gun is a uniquely American invention
that, more than any other single invention, revolutionized the way in which
war was waged. Machine Gun tells the story of the people responsible for
the development of the weapon itself - beginning with Samuel Colt's creation
of the first mass-produced, rapid-firing revolver; to Dr. Richard Gatling
and his Gatling Gun; and Hiram Maxim, whose Maxim Gun was the first truly
automatic weapon.
In this engrossing history, Smith traces the uses of the rapid-fire
gun and its slow integration into the weaponry of military forces around
the world. First used primarily to 'pacify' native populations, the machine
gun was not fully integrated into military tactics until after the unprecedented
casualties of World War I and the resultant social upheaval that utterly
changed the very nature of tactical warfare. Machine Gun is an enthralling
account of the people who invented and promoted the weapon, how it affected
the very nature of warfare, and of the society out of which it arose -
and which it in turn transformed inexorably.

The
MP40 Submachine Gun
by Mike Ingram
Book Description: Of all infantry weapons conceived during the
20th century, few were as important as the submachine gun, a weapon designed
specifically for close-quarter combat. This illustrated history examines
what was arguably the best such weapon during World War II: the German
MP-40. Heavily illustrated with archival photography, cutaway drawings,
and twelve color artworks, this account follows the MP-40 from its genesis
in preliminary World War I designs through its use by the German forces
on all fronts and its postwar service with other nations. Comprehensive
appendices include full specifications and extensive comparisons with Allied
contemporaries.
