Stalk and Kill: The Thrill and Danger of the Sniper Experience
By: Adrian Gilbert


The combat sniper is given the opportunity to tell his own story: what it feels like to look down a telescopic sight and observe the face of the "target"; the ordeal of the operations conducted behind enemy lines; and the exhaustion of hours spent waiting motionless for the perfect shot. Using painstakingly researched first-hand narratives, Gilbert considers the origins of military sniping during the American Revolution and its development during the nineteenth century, from the wars against Napoleon through the Civil War to the British colonial campaign. But it is in the twentieth century that the sniper proved most deadly, and Gilbert shows the major role that the modern sniper has played in both world wars and the more recent conflicts. A detailed and graphic examination of one of the most difficult and dangerous military skills.
