Synopsis

The author calls this book "A Scoial and Technical Biography of the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun and Its Inventors", and so it is. The result of over twenty years of research, this is the most complete account ever published of the life and times of Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, and his crowning invention, the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun, as well as other arms designs including the Lewis "shock action" and other automatic rifles, and Lewis .45 caliber pistols.
