Sharpshooters by Gary Yee
A short history of sharpshooters, marksmen and snipers.
I've always thought that the term "sharpshooter" referred either to cowboys during the period we used to refer to as the Wid West, or else the guns they carriedGary Yee sets the record straight with a brilliant account of marksmen through the ages, since the use of rifles and guns became prevalent. * Books Monthly *
These books would be excellent for someone with an early interest in military history or for someone talking history at school. Very readable and easy to understand with some good illustrations. * Army Rumour Service *
A concise review of sniping across centuries, this book highlights the continuous significance of professional sniping in combat success. * Tapio Saarelainen, sniper expert and author of 'The White Sniper' *
