Great book
This is the best sniper book I’ve ever read. I am a student of the Vietnam War and found a ton of good information in this book.
Very interesting, gives good insight into the Vietnam war from a marine’s viewpoint. Also the formation of sniper training.
A true classic .
Read this many years ago. An amazing story about a real American hero. The stories Carlos tells about some of the missions he was on are not only amazing but also a bit familiar as they have been used as inspiration used in many movies and tv shows. It’s was nice to know the source and truth of those many stories.
