Snipers have a rich history. This fascinating book follows
their tasks and techniques from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars
through both World Wars, to the Korean War and Vietnam-the genesis
of modern sniping-to the current conflicts in the Middle East.
Also, readers will see how sniping has evolved on the civilian side
in law enforcement. Readers will learn about the tools of the
trade, but most importantly, they will hear from the experts
themselves: military snipers, as well as civilian police and SWAT
snipers. Capturing the suspense and action of the hunt, the words
of these men draw readers into the close-knit, little-known world
of men who need only one bullet to get the job done.
