Not a sniper book
Although the writer definitely served as a sniper, the title of the book is very misleading. The text is much more accurately a tactical history of the unit to which he was attached as a sniper, not the actual sniping activities of the sniper teams. Also, the author has a bad habit of disparaging the exploits of other snipers. For example, he denigrates solo sniping or the engagement of a company by a single sniper team, both veiled condemnations of Carlos Hathcock. Yet he extols the skills of his own unit members who make unbelievable shots with M-1 rifles and very low power optics, equipment inferior to that fielded by other units. Although I don't doubt these events occurred exactly as portrayed, I fail to see the point in tearing down others' accomplishments while praising similar ones made by one's peers.
