The technological backwardness of Russia by the second half of the XNUMXth century became obvious: this was most clearly demonstrated by the course and results of the Crimean War.
In search of options to quickly modernize the arms industry - and the army in general - the authorities of the empire turned to many manufacturers of modern infantry weapons, but cooperation with American inventors and companies played a key role in updating the Russian military sphere. Joseph Bradley's book is about the difficult, not always successful, but ultimately productive relationship between American and Russian gunsmiths and the historical role this partnership has played.
