5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT SNIPER BOOK!, June 12, 2000

This review is from: One Shot One Kill (Mass Market Paperback)

One shot one kill is a terrific book for those who enjoy reading the experiences of snipers from all parts of history.It gives amazing accounts from World War II and the Vietnam War among others.It's an especially good book because the authors have a huge base of knowledge on the subject and have an effective way of explaining the circumstances in which the snipers in this book preformed their duties.Again a terrific book that will make one appreciate the art of sniping.

1.0 out of 5 stars Information is Highly Suspect, August 28, 2001

By 

Glen Senkowski (The Great State of Reality) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Shot One Kill (Mass Market Paperback)

The author's association with another book entitled "Taking Fire: the True Story of a Decorated Chopper Pilot" makes the information in this book highly suspect. When I confronted this author with specific concerns about "facts" in his other book, his response was, "You don't know what the hell you're talking about." But indeed I do: I had the singular misfortune of flying with his co-author for an entire year and most of the stories they concocted simply did not happen. On the whole, the Viet Nam-related material contained in "Taking Fire" goes far beyond "artistic license" to the point of gross misrepresentation and self-aggrandizement at the expense of historical accuracy. I have no reason to believe that he did not do the same thing in this book. I fear that the author is purely into writing for the money and is re-creating history as he sees fit to make his books more marketable. For those of us who have experienced war up close and personal, his books are joke.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best snipers from every major American War, January 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: One Shot One Kill (Mass Market Paperback)

The art of sniping from the American Revolution to Korea then to Vietnam. The best of the best are portrayed in this easy to read novel. For all of those who have read Marine Sniper this is a must read. Snipers from Carlos Hathcock to Jim Land tell their story in this fast paced book. It is very informative and explains each situation and the art of sniping. It gets my seal of approval, and is a must read.
