Description
The scope of World War II Snipers is extensive, with three chapters each on the major theatres of the war including Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Pacific. These are supported by a lengthy chapter on the sniper rifles used by the snipers and their equipment. Finally, the last chapter discusses many overlooked or ignored subjects not raised by other researchers and provides much food for thought. The bibliography is a valuable resource to future researchers and writers. For the long-range rifle shooter and today’s snipers, the lessons of the past are as relevant today as they were when learned and practiced in World War II.
• Draws on memoirs, government documents and interviews, and incorporates eyewitness accounts to weave a comprehensive account of World War II snipers
• Examines the battlefield role of snipers in each of the major theatres of the war, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Pacific

Thousands of volumes have been published about World War II but relatively little attention has been given to the sniper.
