Publisher's Summary

Learn about the rise and importance of snipers in WWII. 

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 audiobook.

The sniper is seen as the most glamorous member of any army, a true master of their craft able to snuff out life from hundreds of meters 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 world's deadliest and most prolific snipers such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Simho Häyhä, and Matthäus Hetzenauer. 

Discover the evolution in the technology of this most deadly form of art 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, one even wearing a bloodstained uniform with pride long after the war had ended as proof that they had been effective in their role. 

This audiobook is a must-buy for anyone who wishes to be gripped, horrified, and entertained by one of the forefront authors on World War II.
