Review

I was skeptical when I picked up this book, thinking it inappropriate for juvenile readers, but was surprised to find it very well written and thought out. Sniper training schools were started in the 1940's during WWII. It is not just about sharp shooting and killing. It is about saving lives as well. These are some of the bravest and most respected people in our military. Sidebars included several noted snipers in history from WWII to Iran and Afghanistan.

Overall Book Score: good
