Summary: Why aren't men like Bill Ruger the heros of our children?
Review: Bill Ruger founded a firearms company in 1949 with a single design (still produced in huge quantities). He attempted to sell his design to the powerhouses of the day... Colt, Winchester, Remington, and Smith & Wesson. All passed.

Within fifty years, Bill Ruger had the opportunity to purchase each of those companies. At depressed prices. With cash earned from his fabulous designs. He passed. How sweet.

Read this book and learn about production techniques, business finance (no long term debt, what a concept), public market relations, metallurgy, design, photography, weaponry...

WHY do we allow our sons and daughters to admire someone who can dunk a basketball or hit a high note rather than someone like Bill Ruger?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Review: This book is perfect for anyone interested in the history of Sturm, Ruger and Co. The information is presented in a very organized fashion. I highly recommend this book at twice the price.
