They track the enemy overland and lie in wait for a target to appear. Then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of concealment, combat snipers stalk t h e enemy like hunters after big game, with one deadly goal.One Shot-One Kill. In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers honed the vital art of delivering a single accurate shot f r o m nowhere - and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, and picked off officers, unwary soldiers and even other snipers at extraordinary distances of up to 1-1/2 miles. Now t ho se who achieved fame, adn those who simply did their best at a formidable job, tell their stories: of their emotions on getting a man's face in their sights and pulling the trigger, of the nerve- wr ack in g hours and days waiting motionlessly for the enemy to appear, of the primal savagery of a sniper duel. Often trained haphazardly in times of war and forgotten in times of peace, combat sni p ers wer e a t least officially recognized after the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps became the first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. This book is their powerful personal reco r d, of desp erat e trials and proud feats. Book looks nice, has some rubbing around edges of cover & spine since it's a dark green cover, and a 3" crease on top right corner of front cover. Buyer wi l l be pl eased..
