The Shooting Field by Peter King
'The Shooting Field" tells the story of the London gun trade from the earliest days through the eyes of the most famous maker, Holland & Holland. We travel to India with The Prince of Wales and on safari in Africa with Teddy Roosevelt and learn of the development of the double barrelled rifle, the breech loading shotgun and the cartridge. This revised and enlarged edition provides a wealth of anecdotes and unique archive material with extensive photographs and illustrations throughout.
Peter King is the author of nine other books, including Protect our Planet: An anniversary view from the World Wildlife Fund (Quiller Press).
