5.0 out of 5 stars A Legend.
To use a quote I learned as a young boy while watching The Sand Lot, “Hero’s live forever, but legends never die”. I first read this book after pulling it off the shelf in my family’s library. It was a book bought by or gifted to my father, I never did find out which. The young boy I was who wanted to be a warrior and a Marine some day saw the figure crouched low in the undergrowth and was instantly intrigued. I read that book from cover to cover in a whirl of colors and sounds as my imagination created and played the story in my head in the way it does that cause the pages to disappear. Only good books, well written by versed story tellers do that and aren’t a chore. This book is one of them.I eventually did serve as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, and was stationed with a Marine Infantry platoon in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I served with 2nd Battalion 9nth Marines, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. I only say this because I know firsthand the love and brotherhood that comes with being not only a warrior, but a warrior among many who together become something greater than themselves. To me, this book went from an incredible legend and story to one of an even personal and chilling level.After my enlistment and time in the Navy was over, I worked as a Medical Assistant, and had and have the pleasure of working with a man who got to attend some special training during his time of service, the guest speaker at which was none other than the Hero of this book and a Marine Corps. Legend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos N. Hathcock. On the back of a paddle this man I work with received as a token of gratitude for his time spent at one of his commands, is the signature of Hathcock, in black sharpie written onto the wood. To have held that paddle and seen with my own eyes the signature written by that man was an awesome experience.This book is worth every second spent in its pages, and will definitely make you wish it never ended, although it does a graceful job of doing so.
5.0 out of 5 stars reminds me of playing call of duty
Just kidding but in all seriousness it’s a good and interesting read about an amazing sniper and brave hero. If you’re into war books or the Vietnam war in general it’s worth reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Easy reading
It's a shame that the marines didn't give this man his full retirement. I don't know if he received any proceeds from this book. I hope so. He gave 99% of his life to the Marines. This book is so insightful and gives details about how snipers do what they do. It is not sugar coated or glossed over. He explains stalking procedures and types of weapons in a story form that is interesting and intriguing. Note that some of the stories contain information that is supposition. But it makes the stories interesting to have those details. If you have in interest in the Vietnam war or how snipers work, then this book is a must read. Beware there are some graphic details of torture.
4.0 out of 5 stars Courageous Type of Warfare
This book is about Carlos Hathcock, the distinguished Marine Corp sniper of the Vietnam War. Honored in this country, with 93 confirmed enemy kills and having gained notoriety among the enemy as White Feather, because that is what adorned his cap and gained him a bounty on his head. The book is a good portrayal of what it takes to become proficient at sniper warfare, along with its effectiveness in warfare. Although often considered a cowardly method of warfare, the reader will pick up that Hathcock's time in the bush stalking the enemy's position days on end to obtain the perfect shot, but not too close to make escape impossible is a personally courageous act. The book highlights one incident where Hathcock goes one on one with an equally savvy Viet Cong sniper and another four-day stalk within a Viet Cong base camp to bring down a North Vietnamese General. The author's portrayal of Hathcock's banter is not all that humble when discussing himself, but this man can also walk the walk. It is a little sad about the adjustment problems Hathcock has to civilian life. Most civilian jobs pale in comparison to hunting and being hunted by humans., The book is a fast light read with some heart pounding entertainment. The book could have used some more sniper accounts.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hathcocks story will stay with you forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading.
Excellent read of a man dedicated to the service of his country. Explains in good detail how he accomplished his job.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is Personal
I can relate to the snipers focus and attention to detail. It’s not what you shot at and missed that gets you it is what you missed prior to the shot that gets you!
Great Book
A very good read, detailed and interesting!
Exciting - absorbing - personal
This is the first book about the sniper Hathcock. His 93 confirmed kills do not say anything about his real kill ratio. He let us share in his mostly incredible actions (and luck), but also his personal bad times. If you are interested to read more about him, be sure that you start with this book, not the other ones.

Top sniper
I had often heard of the sniper lore tales of Gunny Sergeant Hathcock during the Vietnam War but to read about his exploits was a revelation. Here is the story of a rare individual who managed to combine the latent talent of a top match sharpshooter with that of a skilled woodsman...the result is a historical overview of one of the most famed snipers of all time. The book is well written and outlines Hathcock's shooting career and then his subsequent deployment to Vietnam where he carries out the most audacious sniper missions to become not only a legendary sniper but a legendary marine. Hatchock eventually has to overcome horrific injuries sustained in an enemy ambush during his second Vietnam tour and it is only these injuries that terminate his sniper 'killing' career. Whether you like the thought of human hunting human is one thing but I personally think this soldier was one brave and very skilled man...an excellent read!
