Let's broaden this forum's readership into several firearms that have had a significant impact in all sorts of ways; Glock pistols, AK-47 and all the guns of John Moses Browning.
I have read the following books and recommend all to the gun fanboys/girls on this forum.
First up as a long-time (1990s) Glock fanboy read; Glock: The Rise of American's Gun. It was most interesting to pull back the curtain on this unique pistol from the 1980s that captured so much of the American market and is still so dominant. Yes, I know all about PERFECTION and have been supporting Glock after market part suppliers for years.
Next up is The Gun which we know as the AK-47. It covers the origins of the design, its invention and distribution, and the consequences of the pattern's spread around the world. I was tempted to buy one over the years but several operating features made me choose the AR-15 pattern rifle instead.
And if I still have any John Moses Browning fanboys/girls still reading you will really want to read; The Guns of John Moses Browning: The Remarkable Story of the Inventor Whose Firearms Changed the World. My book review is below:
