Most people think of snipers as shooters perched in urban
hides, dealing out death unseen from a considerable
distance. But this description barely scratches the surface.
Special operations snipers are men with stacked skill sets
who have the ability to turn the tide of battles, even when
they aren't pulling the trigger. Snipers have played an
outsized role in the War on Terror that has earned them the
Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, and countless other honors.
These are the most experienced warriors on the battlefield,
oftentimes the units' best assaulters with years of
door-kicking under their belt. These are the men who run ops
in small teams across borders, or dress like locals and pull
off high-risk vehicle reconnaissance and singleton missions
in non-permissive environments. MODERN AMERICAN SNIPERS tells the inside story of some of
the most heroic patriots in recent American history by the
friends and colleagues who knew them best, including: * The Legend – Chris Kyle, SEAL Team 3 Chief and the most
lethal sniper in U.S. military history * The Reaper – Nick Irving, the first African American to
serve as a sniper in the 3rd Ranger Battalion, and its
deadliest, with 33 confirmed kills * Robert Horrigan, Delta sniper who played a critical role
in Operation Anaconda * Don Hollenbaugh, Delta Operator who earned the
Distinguished Service Cross while embedded with a Marine
platoon in the First Battle of Fallujah * And many more
