That's where the snipers of the U.S. Marines, Army, and Navy SEALs come in . . .

Here, in their own words, are the compelling true stories of the snipers whose sole purpose is to eliminate the enemy with a single bullet. From Iraq to Afghanistan, this is life and death as seen through the scope of a high-powered rifle.

These snipers' stories illustrate the mental discipline and psychological strength that they must possess to accomplish their missions, the effect a sniper's skill and reputation has on the enemy, and how they deal with the stark reality of their work after the target is neutralized--and after a sniper returns to civilian life.

Part wartime chronicle, part psychological exploration of the warrior mind, and part expos into a secretive brotherhood of military snipers, Hunters is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the truth about war when it's fought one kill at a time.
