The rags (or at least from middle class existence of manufacturing curtain rods and the occasional military knife :) to riches story of Gaston Clock, and a good peek into the gun loving American psyche. An outsider creating a great product based on customer feedback would be the quintessential American success story if one ignores the various dark edges, as the dislike and distrust of American Glock employees by the Austrian brass, Mr. Glock's strange political leanings, and tendencies to minimize (or possibly evade) taxes. To be able to survive a contract killing attack by an ex-French Legionnaire just adds a certain sheen. Readers for or against guns, ones interested in American politics (including the influence of gun policies and of the NRA, in strange lawsuits and their outcomes or in how to sell to government and prosper by building a secretive company, will enjoy this book.
