FIREARMS Guns –
“Fireworks is a collection of wild, hilarious, shocking and always meaningful tales from the remarkable life of an American firearms legend. Mount up and ride along with Cooper as he fights the Japanese in the Pacific, hunts giant Cape buffalo in Africa, recounts the exploits of such fighting men as Wild Bill Hickock and Medal of Honor winner Col. Herman Henry Hanneken and much more.”
“I recommend this collection without reservation, and for that matter I say the same for all of Jeff Cooper’s output. Among all authors on the subjects of firearms, personal defense, hunting, and related topics, he is simply the very best, the nonpareil. His style and skill should be models for any author in any field. His prose is perfectly clear, but also incisive, varied, and breathtaking in its versatility. When he explains and expounds, his sentences land like the judgments of an oracle, admitting no quibble, so clearly does he make his case. When he tells a story, it can be gripping, lighthearted, humorous, or lavish in the praise of a great hero, but in all cases well-paced. His essays, typically on political or cultural topics, have the delivery of graceful hammer blows.”
