Product Description
In 1986, Charles Henderson first published Marine Sniper-the incredible story of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, whose 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam have never been matched by any sniper before or since.
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.

 A Good Continuation of Carlos Hathcock's Story December 31, 2008
A very good book, continuing the tales and adventures of Carlos N. Hathcock II in Vietnam. The book covers his second tour in Vietnam and provides a good closing to the story of his life after the Marines.
Gives a good look into the problems he suffered in his later years both with his health and mental state, and how he was able to overcome anything that life threw his way. A great man of ethics and principal who serves as a positive role model for young men.

Great book, excellent condition for a used book.
Fantastic price, but shipping a tad high.
a must read for military buffs August 8, 2008
Read the story of Carlos Hathcock, "White Feather", just another American Hero our country chose to abandon.
 The legendary White Feather. July 7, 2008
The material used for "Silent Warrior" were the pages that were cut from "Marine Sniper" to manage the size of that first book. So this book is based on much of the same interviews and recollections.
I found "Silent Warrior" to be as good or better than "Marine Sniper".
The first book may have had more details about some of the shootings, but this book has more details about the sniper's mission-oriented targets and what made them valuable as targets.
The noble reason for writing the first book is elaborated on.
In "Silent Warrior" the reader gets to see the heroism of Carlos Hathcock when he saved other Marines at his own expense,suffering terrible burns that eventually contributed to ending his career. The character of his sniper-partner John Burke and his heroism in the field was detailed.
This book has emotion in the pages. In part because it was written after Carlos Hathcock had passed away. Mr Henderson takes the reader along on fishing trips and ceremonies that were part of Hatchcock's life towards the end.
Both "Marine Sniper" and "Silent Warrior" are excellent books and recommended for anyone that wants to read about the most fearsome sniper ever to serve the U.S.A.
