True tales from some of the most expert
and deadly marksmen in the world...
From the jungles of Vietnam to the unforgiving deserts of Afghanistan
and Iraq, one breed of soldier has achieved legendary status in the arena
of combat — the sniper. Their only mission: wait, watch, and when the
target is in sight, put the... Crosshairs on the Kill Zone
From the authors of the classic sniper chronicle One Shot—One Kill comes
a new generation of true tales from some of the most expert and deadly
marksmen in the world. Meet Adelbert Waldron II, whose 109 confirmed kills
in Vietnam made him the most successful sniper in American military history,
and Tom "Moose" Ferran, who coined the term "Fetch!", whereupon the infantry
would retrieve the sniper's dead quarry. Also included are stories from
snipers in Beirut, the Bosnian conflict, and both wars with Iraq —
including the feat of Sergeants Joshua Hamblin and Owen Mulder, who
took down thirty-two enemy soldiers in a single day outside Baghdad
in 2003.
The military sniper has evolved into one of the most dangerous and
highly skilled warrior professions. They suffer through weather,
terrain, and enemy action, lay unmoving for days on end, and take
out their targets with unerring accuracy - proving that the deadliest
weapon in any battle, anywhere in the world, is a single well-aimed shot.
