Top sniper - I had often heard of the sniper lore tales of Gunny Sergeant Hathcock during the vietnam war but to read about his exploits was a revelation. Here is the story of a rare individual who managed to combine the latent talent of a top match sharpshooter with that of a skilled woodsman...the result is a historical overview of one of the most famed snipers of all time. The book is well written and outlines Hathcock s shooting career and then his subsequent deployment to Vietnam where he carries out the most audacious sniper missions to become not only a legendary sniper but a legendary marine. Hatchock eventually has to overcome horrific injuries sustained in an enemy ambush during his second Vietnam tour and it is only these injuries that terminates his sniper killing career. Whether you like the thought of human hunting human is one thing but I personally think this soldier was one brave and very skilled man...an excellent read!
brilliant - Fantastic book. Not gung ho, just very honest and humble in its written style. Excellent book.

hero who was screwed by author - In this book of an execptional man one of a kind hero the author Mr Henderson has not even awarded the hero that he made so much money from a single penny in royalties I think this is an absolute disgrace as if it was not for carlos this man wouldnt have a book to sell
A Blinding Read!! - Like a kid i assumed that if this guy had at least 93 kills then this was going to be an action packed book...well it was!!!!Right from the first page your thrown in to the action, the training was so interesting, the action was thrilling, and although he survived, the ending was so sad, i really felt for him
