Synopsis

The focus of this book is confined to those Beretta firearms that were developed after Pietro Beretta took over the firm in 1903, an event which, as related in Chapter 1, marks the real beginning of Beretta in the 20th century.

The story of Beretta's firearms of the 20th century leads naturally to an overview of all the Beretta-made weapons, both old and new. It takes us beyond Italy, to nearly a dozen countries where Beretta-designed military firearms have been built, and to other nations where these fine weapons have been put to use. This book delves into the Beretta story and discovers how remarkable events and personalities shaped Beretta firearms as they are today.
