GLOCK: THE RISE OF AMERICA'S GUN

Based on fifteen years of research, GLOCK: The Rise of America's Gun is the riveting story of the weapon that has become known as America's gun.

Today the Glock pistol has been embraced by two-thirds of all US police departments, glamorized in countless Hollywoode movies, and featured as a ubiquitous presence on prime-time TV.  It has been rhapsodized by hip-hop artists and coveted by cops and crooks alike.

This book is filled with corporate intrigue, political maneuvering, Hollywood glitz, bloody shoot-outs, and an attemp on Gaston Glock's life by a former lieutenant. GLOCK is not only the inside account of how GLOCK the company went about marketing its pistol to police agencies and later to the public, but also a compelling chronicle of the evolution of gun culture.

This book pulls the curtain back on a secretive company that seemed to do whatever it took to be successful!
