Spends almost as much time on the personal history of LeMat as on the pistols Author seems to over identify with LeMat by taking his side in dispute with Caleb Huse. At one point author says Huse went to Vienna for some reason to avoid dealing with LeMat. Even superficial research would have shown that Huse went to Vienna because of the opportunity to purchase large quantity of Austrian small arms and field artillery which he did in fact get for the Confederacy. The photographs in book are excellent.
