Book Description

ISBN-10: 0330344250 | ISBN-13: 978-0330344258 | Publication Date: December 1995

For the ordinary soldier, modern warfare is an impersonal business over which he has little direct control, wheras for the sniper it is a deadly one-to-one confrontation. The sniper usually operates alone, sometimes having to wait motionless for hours, or even days, before he fires his shot. This study examines the technical aspects of sniping in detail, looking at the historical background as well as the role of the sniper in such recent conflicts as Vietnam, the Falklands and the Gulf War.

Gregory R. Sylvain "History buff" (Hooksett NH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sniper One on One: The World of Combat Sniping (Paperback)

This book references many other sniper experts and resources which I would recommend reading as well (especially "93 Confirmed Kills" with Carlos Hathcock. I would say this would be a good start in building knowledge on the subject of sniping and it's development.
