Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture Summary:

Michael A. Bellesiles' Arming America is a stunning and seminal book that challenges everything we've previously been taught about America's history with guns. Painstakingly examining the historical record, Bellesiles shatters the myth of our gun-toting forefathers. When questions rose as to details of his research in probate records, the politically motivated effort by the gun lobby and its supporters expanded to include a committee of scholars and historians who devoted months to checking Bellesiles's footnotes in the archives where he did his research--practice that is extremely unusual in historical scholarship--and found evidence of sloppy research in five pages. In this revised edition, Bellesiles answers his academic critics, providing updated research addressing their legitimate concerns, and finding that the underlying thesis of his book remains as solid as ever."
