Silent Warrior by Charles Henderson

Silent Warrior by Charles Henderson

The author of the bestselling Vietnam War memoir Marine Sniper continues the incredible true story of Sergeant Carlos Hathcock.

In the United States Marine Corps, the most dangerous job in combat is that of the sniper. With no backup and little communication with the outside world, these men disappeared for weeks on end in the wilderness with nothing but intellect and iron will to protect them--as they would watch, wait, and finally strike.

But of all of the snipers who ever hunted human prey, one man stands above and beyond as one of the most legendary fighting men ever to pull a trigger. That man was Carlos Hathcock.

In Marine Sniper, the true-life missions of United States Marine Corps sniper Carlos Hathcock were revealed in explosive detail. Now, the incredible story of a remarkable Marine continues--with harrowing, never-before-published accounts of courage and perseverance. These are the powerful stories of a man who rose to greatness not for personal gain or glory, but for duty and honor. A rare inside look at the U.S. Marine's most challenging missions--and the one man who made military history.

Charles Henderson served in the United States Marine Corps for more than 23 years, from Vietnam to the Gulf War, before retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer. He is the author of the critically acclaimed military classics Marine Sniper and Silent Warrior, which detailed USMC sniper Carlos Hathcock's exploits for the first time. Marshalling the Faithful, Goodbye Saigon, Jungle Rules, and the fictional Jack Valentine Marine Sniper series are among his other works.
