Dairy farming in the 1930s was not the highly industrialised industry it is today. It was mainly small family runs producing cream for butter rather than milk, with a pig breeding sideline for the skim milk. Pigs were hand fed from buckets. My mother liked milking the cows, but the only way she could bring herself to feed the pigs was to say "money, money, money..." as she emptied out the skim milk.

That has been the purpose since pistols first emerged five hundred years ago. Over the time they have developed from beautifully, handcrafted objects to mass-produced, industrialized weapons of mass destruction. This is a quality book the chronicles that development.
