This review is from: Death From Afar Vol. II (Hardcover)

Myself being U.S. Army Sniper respect the effort, detail and accuracy Chandler & Chandler placed in this exceptional five volume set "DEATH FROM AFAR- Marine Corps Sniping (vol. I-V)".
Each volume is mass of information and trivia for the long-range shooter. There is much history and deeds to read between the covers of each volume. The series of volumes cover a horde of topics on weapon systems, scopes, day/night optics, training, tips, trivia, history, insignia, operations, personalities, missions and the list goes on and on.
The books are oversized hardcover with loads of illustrations and pictures. The text is clean and crisp. The content is not all that structured in any kind of order; it can be a little difficult at times to find certain information. I believe C&C realized this themselves and added an index in volume five covering all the data in the previous volumes.
This series of books is destine to become a very sort after set of books on the topic of sniping if not all ready. It is a must own for any true military historian, sniper or marine. C&C thanks again for a great job!
