Right from its inception as a hand-built, open-top, closed-bolt-firing model, John M. Browning's "Automatic Machine Rifle" was an instant success. It remained one of the most popular and respected weapons in the U.S. arsenal for over four decades, proving time and time again that, when the fighting got heavy, the BAR was truly a "Rock in a Hard Place". This long-awaited book, by the well-known combat shooter and firearms journalist James L. Ballou, is the most complete and authoritative study of the BAR ever published. It contains nineteen chapters, arranged in four parts, plus a Bibliography and an Index.
