Summary: Excellent about sniper organization and operation in Vietnam
Comment: This is the most comprehensive book regarding the organization, training and the operations of US Army and USMC snipers in Vietnam.
Unlike the other sniper books such as Charles Henderson's Marine Sniper or Ed Kugler's Dead Center that deal with sniper operations down to the personal level, this book approaches the topics from the institutional point of view. And, comparing with other generic sniping books such as Adrian Gilbert's works, Lenning's book is definitely much more organized and comprehensive. However, Lenning does not spend lots of volume dealing with weapons and equipments either (only one chapter). For those who want to know more about the equipments, Peter R. Steinch's works such as The One Round War would be more in depth.
The books starts with a recount of sniping history up to the Vietnam War, then Lenning really dig into the organization and development of snipers during the Vietnam War. Not only the better known parts of USMC snipers, he also covers the less known ones such as US Army and allies, and even devotes a chapter for VC/NVA snipers. He talks about the psychology of the snipers, the tools of trade, training and organization, operations, and, best of all, his own study and assessment of the effectiveness and accomplishments of US snipers in the Vietnam War.
This book is definitely a "must read" for whoever interested in the topic of snipers.

Summary: Michael Lee Lanning tells the story of the sniper.
Comment: This is an interesting book that tells the virtualy untold story of the special Army and Marine Corps marksmen known as snipers. The book follows the history of the special marksmen and the development of their weapons. This book is fast-paced and easy to read without military acronyms
Rating: 1
Summary: dont buy no please dont waste your money
Comment: I hated this book. The title reads Sniper in Vietnam. I think there was maybe 4 accounts of snipers in vietnam. The book goes back to like robin hood and talking about people being shot with arrows. Come on.....arrows. I bought a book about nam not some book on everything else. If you want a book about sniper history then this is the book for you. If not buy something else.
