About Firearms An Illustrated HistoryThis fascinating visual account of firearms shows everything from the earliest cannons to modern weapons of war. It also highlights how gun technology and military tactics developed in tandem over time.Centuries ago, the Chinese discovered that if they put gunpowder and a projectile into a metal tube and ignited it, they could fire the projectile with enormous force.

Six essays on the conspiracy theories and intrigues surrounding the JFK assassination by Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein, who Michael Wolff in USA Today describes as "one of the great investigative journalists of the era," was the only journalist to have interviewed the Warren Commission. These essays deal with 60 theories of the assassination, the death of George De Mohrenschildt (who was shot in the midst of a 4-day interview with Epstein), Oliver Stone's movie JFK, and a parallel CIA murder plot.
