Hunters: U.S. Snipers in the War on Terror

<b>In the War on Terror, there are no set battles. The fanatical enemy adheres to no warrior code or international law. Their only desire is to kill—or be killed.</b><br /><br /><b>That’s where the snipers of the U.S. Marines, Army, and Navy SEALs come in . . .</b><br /> <br />Here, in their own words, are the compelling true stories of the snipers whose sole purpose is to eliminate the enemy with a single bullet. From Iraq to Afghanistan, this is life and death as seen through the scope of a high-powered rifle.<br /> <br />These snipers’ stories illustrate the mental discipline and psychological strength that they must possess to accomplish their missions, the effect a sniper’s skill and reputation has on the enemy, and how they deal with the stark reality of their work after the target is neutralized—and after a sniper returns to civilian life.<br /> <br />Part wartime chronicle, part psychological exploration of the warrior mind, and part exposé into a secretive brotherhood of military snipers, <i>Hunters</i> is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the truth about war when it’s fought one kill at a time.<br /> <br /><b>Includes photographs</b>
