The AK-47 is one of the most widely recognized and issued weapons in the world. A tool of revolution as well as tyranny, the AK has spawned more variants and inspired more designs then virtually any other firearm. Using rare collectors' pieces and seldom seen prototype guns, firearms expert Clark E. Hodges traces the history of the AK-47 from its origins in WWII to today's state of the art AK variants. Hodges describes the subtle differences between the military and civilian versions of the many AK designs, and provides step by step instruction in their operation, loading, firing, disassembly and reassembly. This is the definitive reference work on the AK-47 family of weapons.
