The Owen Gun Files: An Australian Wartime Controversy by Kevin Smith offers a concise, well‑researched look at the development and debate surrounding Australia’s iconic Owen submachine gun. This non‑fiction work blends history, engineering and true‑story narrative, making it a solid addition for readers interested in Australian war history and weapons technology.

Published in 1994 as a trade paperback, the book is in good vintage condition. The front paper bears an inscription and a single page shows some thumbing, but the text and images remain clear and readable.

Ideal for both young adults and adult collectors, the volume fits comfortably within the antiquarian, biography and war‑combat categories while providing engaging insight into a pivotal piece of Australian military engineering.
