The author was a sniper in Veitnam and cronicals his time through trainign and 13 months in combat by use of letters he sent home which were kept by his mother. Not a blood and guts war book, but a tale of commitment and survival. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In Vietnam's jungle war, only one group of men was feared more than death itself--the Marine Scout Snipers. . . . The U.S. Marine Scout Snipers were among the most highly trained soldiers in Vietnam. With their unparalleled skill, freedom of movement, and deadly accurate long-range Remington 700 bolt rifles, the Scout Snipers were sought after by every Marine unit--and so feared by the enemy that the VC bounty on the Scout Snipers was higher than on any other elite American unit. Joseph Ward's letters home reveal a side of war seldom seen. Whether under nightly mortar attack in An Hoa, with a Marine company in the bullet-scarred jungle, on secret missions to Laos, or on dangerous two-man hunter-kills, Ward lived the war in a way few men did. And he fought the enemy as few men did--up close and personal. No library descriptions found. |
