Reviews

This is one neat book about snipers and their exploits. -- AMPS Indianapolis

The breadth of topics covered by this book is outstanding. The level of detail is amazing, given how wide the scope of the volume is. The drawings, images and maps are well rendered, the writing is fluid and immensely descriptive. -- AMPS This is one neat book about snipers and their exploits. -- AMPS Indianapolis Thanks to Gary Yee's lifelong fascination-turned scholarly and professional, he has drawn from memoirs, government documents, and interviews to gift us with World War II Snipers incorporating eyewitness accounts to weave a comprehensive narrative of their actions and importance in WWII. -- ARGunners.com

Each combatant nation had its own methods of selecting and training snipers, arming and equipping them, and then utilizing them in action. This book goes over the details of these snipers, with sections covering them in action and the weapons they used. * WWII History Magazine 28/09/2022 * There have been many books written about snipers in WWII, but nothing ever like this superb book which has to be the most comprehensive of its type. If there is any aspect on sniping which is missing from this book, then it is not important. ... Highly illustrated throughout, this book is for weapon collectors, shooters, ... and general readers with an interest in the subject. There is nothing to criticise about this book and readers will find it compelling. * Gun Mart 21/09/2022 *
