5.0 out of 5 stars
Clean shot,
By Chris (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: U.S. Marine Corps Scout/sniper: World War II And Korea (Paperback)
This is exactly the book I hoped it would be. Great technical data on the weapons and tactics of snipers as well as stories of how they operated in past wars. A great book for the military buff or the precision shooter.
