American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15
by Cameron McWhirter & Zusha Elinson
American Gun follows the tangled life of the AR-15 — a weapon born from invention and experimentation that became an unexpected symbol in American politics, identity, and tragedy. McWhirter and Elinson trace its journey through designers, soldiers, manufacturers, activists, and families forever changed by its impact. What emerges isn’t a polemic but a sweeping, deeply reported history of how a single object can reflect national conflict. It’s sobering but compelling reading, full of human stories that help illuminate how America got here and why the debate around guns is so emotionally charged.
