Book excerpt: From the sharpshooters of the American Revolution to the Marine snipers who dominated the streets of Mogadishu, famed military historian Adrian Gilbert puts you behind the crosshairs of the most adept killers in history. A sniper is more than a crack shot. He's a calm professional with the instincts and patients of a master huntsman. Intensive training leaves snipers razor-sharp, able to creep undetected within arm's reach of the enemy. The finest marksmen in the world, a sniper can place a bullet in an enemy's heart from a thousand yards away. Stalk and Kill puts you on the battlefield for the most daring missions in history. You'll duel a Nazi "super sniper" in Stalingrad, outfox the Viet Cong in Southeast Asia, and silence the enemies of U.S. troops in Beirut. And you'll never cease to marvel at the sniper's iron nerve and lethal precision. A main selection of the military book club with eight pages of fascinating photos!
Download or read book Rifles written by David Westwood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the musket to the M-16, rifles have played a major role in battle—sometimes tilting the scales in a pivotal moment of war. Yet all too often, poor decisions and ill-conceived "innovations" resulted in putting inappropriate weapons into ill-trained hands, with disastrous consequences. Ranging primarily from the late 18th century to the present, this richly illustrated volume tells the fascinating, sometimes problematic, history of rifled weapons and ammunition for military use. Battle to battle, readers will see how faster-loading, more accurate rifles changed the battlefield. Readers will also encounter many instances where decisionmakers chose to issue rifles ill-suited for the task at hand when better options were available. Author David Westwood has handled every weapon he describes, from muskets to breechloaders, from repeaters and bolt-action rifles to semiautomatics and self-loaders. His exhaustive research reveals new insights into both the successes and failures of rifled weapons. The result is a fresh look at a common weapon's most uncommon story.
