The Sniper: The Untold Story of the Marine Corps' Greatest Marksman of All Time

I have read a few books about people who served in Vietnam and this is by far one of the best. In The Sniper Jim Lindsay has written a good story of the life of Chuck Mawhinney. I like the fact that the author listened to the person he writes about and respected his wishes. I am also sad to learn that Mawhinney was outed against his will when it comes to his service and the controversy of his number of kills. The book is very well written and it's very hard to put down once you have started reading and all of a sudden it's over. I had a wonderful time reading this book and I am greatful that I got an advance copy from St. martin's Press and Macmillan through Edelweiss. I am also thankful to Mawhinney for letting Lindsay tell his story. It's a great book for anyone interested in military history.
