Product Description
In the chaos of the combat zone, there are the living, the dead, and the Ghost.
In the ongoing Iraq conflict, there are no battle lines, no direct offensives, no ground won or lostjust the daily fight against an enemy who hits and runs, hides and sneaks. If the enemy shows himself, its only for a moment. But for a Marine Sniper, that is all that is needed.
Readers now have the opportunity, from these warriors perspective, to peer into the killing zone through a telescopic lens, down the barrel of a high-powered rifle, and into the very heart of the enemy. The training, the techniques, and the steel will necessary to survive as a sniper are all described in vivid detail.
Charles Henderson also delves into the core of the enemythe maniacal ideology, and the tactics that have sown so much violence in Iraqand how they are all vulnerable to a single bullet from a Ghost.

Just amazing, This one of those books that you read and it plays like a movie in your head, you will find it hard to put down. If you like the role snipers play in war, this book is a must read. This is not just a first hand account of just some sniper, he was the best sniper in vietnam. Pick up this book today, you will be glad you did.

I wanted to read about Carlos Hathcock and was pleased to be able to do so. The book was very informative and enjoyable. I have lent the book to others to read.
Delighted and Impressed! September 14, 2008
This has to the story of one of the bravest and most dedicated soldiers of all time. This book tells of the dedication to an art form that is need these days more than we care to realize. Not only the story of a soldiers efforts, but also of his struggle with illness and his own actions on the field of battle.
A truly great story. September 7, 2008
This is probably the best book about snipers I have ever read. I loved it. The writing is excellent, and nicely discriptive. A great book if you want to know some things about snipers and what it means to be a sniper.
Great read September 5, 2008
I was in the Marine Corp in the late 60s but was fortunate not to make a tour in Nam. Lost quite a few good friends over there.
Saw this book mentioned on the web and couldn't wait to get it. A great moving story of someone we should be grateful to. Many men and women sacrificed their lives for us back here. Just hope people appreciate it.
Couldn't put it down. Well written and enlightening.
