In Madison's Militia, Carl Bogus illuminates precisely why James Madison and the First Congress included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights--and the reason will surprise readers. This gripping and wide-ranging history overturns the conventional wisdom about the Second Amendment--showing that the right to bear arms was not about protecting liberty but about preserving slavery.
