- fanatical
- enemy
- adheres
- to
- no
- warrior
- code
- or
- international
- law.
- Their
- only
- desire
- is
- to
- kill—or
- be
- killed.That’s
- where
- the
- snipers
- of
- the
- U.S.
- Marines,
- Army,
- and
- Navy
- SEALs
- come
- in
- .
- .
- .Here,
- in
- their
- own
- words,
- are
- the
- compelling
- true
- stories
- of
- the
- snipers
- whose
- sole
- purpose
- is
- to
- eliminate
- the
- enemy
- with
- a
- single
- bullet.
- From
- Iraq
- to
- Afghanistan,
- this
- is
- life
- and

- high-powered
- rifle.These

- possess

- accomplish
- their
- missions,
- the
- effect
- a
- sniper’s
- skill
- and
- reputation
- has
- on
- the
- enemy,
- and
- how
- they
- deal
- with
- the
- stark
- reality
- of
- their
- work
- after
- the
- target
- is
- neutralized—and
- after

- sniper

- life.Part
