THE NRA: The Unauthorized History by Frank Smyth

From the NRA’s roots in post-Civil War New York City to the present-day Trump administration, Smyth’s research takes a look into the history, the blueprint, and the societal questions surrounding the NRA.

“Journalist Smyth debuts with a balanced and accessible history of the National Rifle Association…Smyth chronicles the NRA’s internal debates with painstaking detail, though the organization’s secrecy prevents jaw-dropping revelations.
