The Sniper - Training Techniques and weapons is a lot better book
than we expected. This is the book to start with if you now knothing
about sniping and snipers. The book has 90 photographs and about
30 drawings. The first chapter is exellent, it digs into the history
of sniping starting from 1066. The 44 page history chapter (as
are all following chapters) is spiced up with first hand accounts
from soldiers and civillians alike. Chapter 2 is also a good read,
especially to those who don't know what the job is really about.
It has several stories from actual snipers from various conflicts
over the years. The same quality continues on chapter 3 where
the author describes the training required to become a sniper.
Chapter 4 concentrates on law enforcement use of the sniper. The
final chapter has a collection of great sniper shots from the
American civil war to present day. The weapons drawings and pictures
are all good, but nothing that hasn't been seen before in similar
books.All in all, $16.00 for a hard cover book of this quality
is very reasonable. |
