The author presents a detailed study of the famous Thompson submachine gun, which was used by the United States and its allies during the Second World War. It includes the early history of the Auto-Ordnance Corporation, the designers and engineers responsible for the Thompson, Colt Thompsons and the gangster era, production figures and manufacturing data from World War II, Savage Arms Corporation and Auto-Ordnance Bridgeport Thompsons, British and French contracts, US government contracts and figures, markings and variants, contractors and subcontractors, drums, magazines, accessories and much more. The concept of the Thompson was developed during the First World War by General John T. Thompson. By the time the weapon was developed and went into production, the war was already over. After the war, it was sold to some law enforcement agencies and companies, but also fell into the hands of criminals, giving it a sinister reputation. Nearly 20 years later, at the start of World War II, there was an urgent need for weapons, and the Thompson was put back into production. The submachine gun was issued to the US and Allied forces and contributed to victory in the war.
