Title Sniper One-On-One
Author Adrian Gilbert
Publisher Pan Books
ISBN 0-330-34425-0
Pages 290
Short description Propably the better book from the Author Adrian Gilbert, who also wrote "Stalk and Kill, the Sniper Experience". The book has 4 pages of B&W pictures of sniping and another 4 pages of B&W pictures of weapons so this book is not about pretty pictures. The book covers sniping from it's early days to the present. There is also a separate weapons & ammuniton section at the end of the book, but it's somewhat limited and not entirely up to date. Nevertheless, this book is good to have in your "sniping library". The notes and bibliography section is also and interesting read.
