Upon hearing the word sniper most people immediately think of deadly assassins and computer animated games, and while there is nothing wrong with this perception the fascinating truth about snipers is available within this engrossing e-book. The sniper is seen as the most glamourous member of any army, a true master of their craft able to snuff out life from hundreds of metres away. The sheer knowledge of a sniper in the enemy ranks brought shivers down the spines of many troops on the front line during World War II. Within this book you will go on a metaphorical journey through the bloody history of the sniper from its origins in the Battle of Saratoga in New York as early as 1777, right through to World War II and everything in between. Prepare to be dazzled and horrified as you delve into the barely heard before stories of some of the worlds deadliest and most profilifc snipers such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Simho Häyhä and Matthäus Hetzenauer. Discover the evolution in the technology of this most deadly artform during World War II and learn the gory details of the destructive power of these weapons. This book contains some of the most informative and despicable stories of the aforementioned snipers who hauntingly aimed to kill more and more people during their careers. These trained cold blooded killers kept a tally of kills, and were proud when they increased into the hundreds and hundreds, one even wearing a bloodstained uniform with pride long after the war had ended as proof that they had been effective in their role.
