The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • American Gunfight

    I became interested in this book after reading an article by Massad Ayoob in a recent copy of "American Handgunner" magazine. Ayoob wrote about the gunfight that is detailed in the book itself, to include the guns used by the 2 Puerto Rican nationals and the 4 or 5 Secret Service agents and policemen, and the outcome of the fight. The book speaks of an event that is largely forgotten by the American public, but maybe the people of Puerto Rico know more about it. Some parts of the book drag on, but that's the way it is with most history books. This is an event that is worth reading about and learning more about.
