Rezension

'This is a fascinating collection, spanning four continents. It shows how guns are not only for killing with, but also for thinking with, and so for creating identities, often masculine and often ethnic. I congratulate the authors and editors.' Prof. dr. Robert Ross, Leiden University Institute for History
