Sobre este artículo
England: Osprey, 2004. Hardcover. Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ. 7 1/2 x 10, 352 pgs, index, b&w photos. Provides a comprehensive history of the sniper, giving insights into all aspects of his life; his training tactics, equipment and the psychology of sniping are examined in the context of the major wars of modern times - including the American Civil War, both world wars, the Vietnam War and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. First-hand accounts from veteran snipers demonstrate their skill and extraordinary courage and show why they are still such a vital part of any war.
