Summary: Limited in depiction of "sniper experience"
Comment: The history of sniping provided is the usual standard stuff; like most books, this book begins its account from the American Revolution, continuing through the American Civil War and the World Wars to approximately the last decade, although "stalk and kill - the sniper experience" goes a long way back before that and should include the use of weapons other than firearms. In depicting post-World War 2 sniping, the author limits himself to theaters in which the British had influence (Falklands, Korea, Yemen etc) and the experiences of the British Army, various English mercenaries, and the SAS. He fails to discuss "the sniper experience" of Russia's wars, or the Caucasus, Africa, or the Middle East. While the book's best focus is on the First World War, it does not particularly shine even in portraying that theater. Overall a lackluster book of fairly limited scope.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very good read.
Comment: It contains everything: rich history, amazing stories, and an huge bibliography. A pleasure to read.
Rating: 5
Summary: The real dirt...
Comment: This is an interesting non-fiction piece, which carries the reader through the historical evolution of snipers. If you've ever wanted to know how snipers came to be the way they are today, then this book is for you.
