Stalkers and Shooters by Kevin Dockery

Stalkers and Shooters by Kevin Dockery

Now in paperback! From the author of the Navy SEALs Oral History series-an intimate look at the world's most efficient and deadly warriors.

Snipers have a rich history. This fascinating book follows their tasks and techniques from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars through both World Wars, to the Korean War and Vietnam-the genesis of modern sniping-to the current conflicts in the Middle East. Also, readers will see how sniping has evolved on the civilian side in law enforcement. Readers will learn about the tools of the trade, but most importantly, they will hear from the experts themselves: military snipers, as well as civilian police and SWAT snipers. Capturing the suspense and action of the hunt, the words of these men draw readers into the close-knit, little-known world of men who need only one bullet to get the job done.

Kevin Dockery has worked as a grade-school teacher, radio announcer, gunsmith, and historian while serving in the President's Guard under Presidents Nixon and Ford. He even served as a corporate mercenary in Iraq and Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. He is a well-known military historian who has published several volumes about the Navy SEALs' history and the lives of the individuals who lived it. He is the author of the Navy SEALs Oral History series, Future Weapons, Stalkers and Shooters, Operation Thunderhead, and Weapons of the Navy SEALs.
