Practically everyone who knows me has heard me rave on and on about this book. I read it for the first time about 4 years ago, after picking it up while browsing through the bookstore. I read the excerpt at the front recounting the Vietnamese general's final moments and I was hooked. I recently finished it again, and it was even better this time. Everything that happens to Hathcock seems like something out of a movie; something no mortal man could survive. I learned to respect the discipline and will-power of a well-trained Marine, and was left in awe of the effectiveness of the sniper. Charles Henderson does his part, too. He not only tells Hathcock's incredible story, but makes it an immersive, addictive one to read. Through his clear and descriptive writing, the reader is transported back in time to the dark "Charlie"-filled jungles of Vietnam, where he lies beside the sniper known as "Long Tra'ng" and experiences not only the satisfaction of a well-placed shot, but also the emotional struggles that a man must deal with when he takes the life of another one. Undoubtedly a timeless classic

It's a pretty quick read.
The book lets one come to know Carlos Hathcock as an ingenuous country boy from Arkansas who came of age in the USMC and Vietnam. I read the book over the weekend and would like to clarify someone else's comment on Amazon about the book being a bit graphic: it's not the description of Mr. Hathcock's kills that are graphic, it's the description of the unfortunate torture of a young Marine by a female Viet Cong torturer, at night, within earshot of a USMC camp. It was pretty hard to take. If you read it, you will be looking forward to her death, I promise you. It was shocking and left me unable to sleep for a couple of hours.
The book also provides insights as to how the Viet Cong coerced the simple agrarian people of Vietnam into fighting a war they wanted nothing to do with, and how the war ravaged that country. It also illustrates the power of snipers in that conflict to thwart and frustrate the enemy war effort.
I learned from this book that sniping is much, much more than marksmanship. It demands tracking skills and the ability to remain unseen.

This book was pretty well presented. The copy I had was published with afew small typos, but it is easy to look past when dealing with such a great story. This was the first book in a while that held my attention. I HIGHLY suggest people to read.

A waste of time
I read about C. Hathcock in a newspaper article and was looking forward to read about his vietnam tour. I was very disappointed since this book is written quite boring. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book only contains made-up nonsense. Hathcock was a superb shot and should have left it at that. Lesen Sie weiter...

made for hollywood
Sorry folks, I thought his story was nonsense, something out of Hollywood. I patrolled many of the areas he supposedly had work, and I found his account filled with inaccuracies.
