'They' say, "Some of the best things come in small packages", and I'm inclined to agree. Size wise this is a small book, content wise it is wonderful. 'Marine Sniper' encapsulates the degree of single-minded effort that is required to be a 'Master Sniper', and that is only the begining of a long and extremely arduous trail that culminates at the point in time when a master sniper becomes a master hunter, and killer, of armed and dangerous opponents during war-time.. This book is not for the faint-hearted, it is for those who might seek to understand what is required in order to become an Apex Predator in the broadest terms....I found it an inspirational read.
