Marine
Sniper is not only one of the most astonishing true stories
to emerge from the Vietnam War, it has become a classic
of military nonfiction, inspiring a sequel, Silent Warrior:
The Marine Sniper's Vietnam Story Continues.
There
have been many Marines. There have been many marksmen.
But there has only been one Sergeant Carlos Hathcock.
A legend in the Marine ranks, Hathcock stalked the Viet
Cong behind enemy lines-on their own ground. And each
time he emerged from the jungle having done his duty.
His record is one of the finest in military history,
with 93 confirmed kills.
This
is the story of a simple man who endured incredible dangers
and hardships for his country and
his Corps. These are the missions that have made Carlos
Hathcock a legend in the brotherhood of Marines. |
