By the second half of the 19th century, Russia's technological backwardness had become obvious: the course and outcome of the Crimean War demonstrated this most clearly.
In search of options for rapid modernization of the arms industry - and the army in general - the empire's authorities turned to many manufacturers of modern infantry weapons, but cooperation with American inventors and companies played a key role in the renewal of the Russian military sphere. Joseph Bradley's book tells the story of the difficult, not always successful, but ultimately productive relationship between American and Russian gunmakers and the historic role this partnership played.
