In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers
honed the art of delivering a single deadly shot from nowhere — and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, picking off officers, unwary soldiers, and even other snipers from extraordinary distances of up to 1 1/2 miles. Now, these uncommon men tell their stories: of the emotions felt when a man's face came into their crosshairs and they pulled the trigger, of the nerve-wracking hours and days of waiting, motionless, for the enemy,

One Shot-One Killis their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories.
