Review:
The book is aimed no pun intended at those who already know what it takes to be a sniper and the role those deadly shooters played in the most horrific war in history. But it provides a more personal story and puts a name to the man behind the scope, including some brief insight into what he endured as a prisoner in a Soviet punishment camp. --Peter Suciu, Military Surplus
