From the peaks of Afghanistan's Hindu Kush to the subtropical marshes of south central Iraq, American snipers have braved heart-pounding situations to hit their human targets dead-on. Few military feats stir the imagination like the image of a pair of riflemen waiting quietly in a building, in a bomb crater or a mountain pass for the enemy to walk into their crosshairs. Sniper comprises real-life tales from the military's front line snipers, their hits and their misses, the anguish of loss and the anxiety of the first kill. Authors Gina Cavallaro and Matt Larsen provide riveting accounts of Soldiers and Marine scout snipers on the battlefield, take a rare look at how Rangers and Special Forces snipers train and operate and why the war on terror has changed the role of military snipers. Key Selling Points: * A book about a variety of top-of-the-line, the Best of the Best snipers in action today on the front lines of America's various wars and back home at the training facilities and competitions: long-distance record-holders, snipers with multiple confirmed kills, etc.* Tales of legendary, contemporary American snipers * Stories from INSIDE the USA's three sniper schools * Foreward by General Richard A. Cody (Ret.)
