One Shot One Kill: One Shot One Kill Kindle Edition
In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers honed the art of delivering a single deadly shot from nowhere—and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, picking off officers, unwary soldiers, and even other snipers from extraordinary distances of up to 1 ½ miles. Now, these uncommon men tell their stories: of the emotions felt when a man's face came into their crosshairs and they pulled the trigger, of the nerve-wracking hours and days of waiting, motionless, for the enemy, of the primal savagery of a sniper duel.
Often trained haphazardly in wartime, and forgotten in times of peace, combat snipers were officially recognized after the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps became the first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. One Shot-One Kill is their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories.

The content of the book could have been organized and presented in a better format, as it jumps around from sniper thoery to actual accounts from snipers. The information serves as a good historical account of the theories and development of sniper tactics, but lacks much content on the modern-day version of the sniper in the modern military.
this book is for you. This is an excellent book which describes a snipers mission in detail. If you are a former
military man you'll be able to put yourself in the snipers position. You will be right there experienceing
what the sniper is doing. They were all proud to serve their country and give their life if necessary
so we can enjoy the freedomn we have today. Semper Fidelis!
MY FATHER SERVED IN WW II. HE IS ALSO MY HERO.
YOU MEN OF HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
I FLY THE FLAG EVERY DAY FOR WHAT FOR YOU HAVE
SACRIFICED ! FOR MY COUNTRY!!!
I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE AT PEACE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
