Pretty good account of the rise of the Glock pistol and Glock, Inc. The book starts out strong with an account of Gaston Glock's invention of the gun, and it's lucky, almost miraculous, rise as the gun of choice for American law enforcement. The latter half of the book descends into the venal, often disgusting, soap opera of the company leadership. There is also a great deal of useless rehashing of contemporary gun-related political controversy that one can read about anywhere. What would have been more interesting is an account of the engineering of the Glock, the history of its development after Gaston Glock built the first one in his Vienna garage. Obviously, people keep buying Glocks because the guns do what they are made to do extremely well. Why this is so would be far more interesting than Barrett's gun angst and the endless chapters on the legal wranglings of the gun industry. Nevertheless, a fairly interesting take on a modern cultural phenomenon.
