Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
They are the lone wolves of the battlefield. Tracking the enemy, lying in wait for the target to appear -- then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of camouflage, combat snipers stalk the enemy with only one goal...
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 very first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. One Shot-One Kill is their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories.

I have been reading material on the subject of scout/sniping for some time now. This book is an excellent read that captivates the reader's attention and reads from start to finish with great info and literary excellence.The material on Carlos Hathcock is worth the whole price of the book.

To say this book was badly written would be the understatement of the century. I continued to read it thinking it couldn't get any worse.It did.If anyone gives you this "book" to read,give it back,it's that bad. I have to give it one star it seems. That's not fair to the book. It should be minus five stars.

I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED MILTARY NOVELS, NON-FICTION BOOKS, AND MOVIES. I EVEN MAKE SMALL MILITARY HOME VIDEOS IN AND AROUND OUR YARD. (WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEIGHBORS.) I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND I AM QUITE SURE THAT ANY MILITARY FREAK, (LIKE ME,) WOULD ENJOY THIS BOOK ABOUT MILITARY SNIPERS.ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IS THE DUEL BETWEEN CARLOS HATHCOCK & THE VC "COBRA" DUDE. AND THAT'S JUST CHAPTER 1! BUT I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR YOU. OVER ALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY MILITARY ESPIONAGE FAN.

I have mixed feelings about this book because of the structure of the content. Some chapters consist of a general discusion about snipers & sniping, while the other chapters are first-person narratives based on interviews of various snipers. The latter were quite interesting and made for good reading, the former, however, were not so good because of the haphazard manner in which the information was organized, unnecessary repetition, and, as is mentioned in other reviews, the inclusion of questionable facts such as the Zaystev/Koenig duel.

I picked this one up ,and enjoyed it through the whole thing. I enjoy short stories. And thats what this book has. The only annoying thing was that in between some of the stories, a chapter would be put in explaining snipers and random stuff. It kinda threw off the flow of actually reading a persons one story. But do what I did ,and skip those chapters. I'm pretty sure there was interesting stuff in those chapters ,but I read one and a half of them ,and was bored. On to the stories. Well worth checking out
