Interesting story of a true American Military Hero. Sadly, his personal life was transformed, not for the better due to his injuries. This is a man who battled PTSD and daily pain due to his heroic actions during his time in Vietnam. A must read for anyone who loves military history.
Easy to read with events related in a chronigraphical order. Snipers are a breed of their own, brave, self-sacrificing,and unbelievably strong.
