Marine Sniper

93 Confirmed Kills

De: Charles Henderson

Narrado por: Kevin Foley

There have been many Marines. There have been many marksmen. But there has been only one Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, a legend of Marine lore. He stalked the Viet Cong behind enemy lines. His record has never been matched: 93 confirmed kills. This is his story. Powerful, chilling, and all true.©2001 Charles Henderson (P)2005 Books in Motion

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Highly readable." ( Publishers Weekly)

This guy was amazing!

So I was really looking for a book that gave me a feel for what snipers go through, and did it. I was mostly looking for the action side of it but this book goes into the biography and background of Hathcock also which at first I wasn't interested in, but later enjoyed. This book is written as more of a story with dialogue, rather than an after-action interview. Definitely an amazing story!

Good book

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I was hoping to hear the rest of the story about Carlos Hathcock's life.

One Shot, One Kill

Every time I listen to this book I get a chill. Even after 5x I am still in ah of the accomplishments of Carlos. Many may have more confirmed than him, but in my book he will always be the best.

Riveting listening

This is an 'I can't turn it off' audiobook! Very well read.

Hathcock was certainly someone who was uniquely suited to being a sniper. He was also passionate about his profession and helped set the standard for others.

Superb justice done for a great hero

This book and reading of have done a superb justice to, and in honor of, one of the greatest men in American Military History, and a legend among the daring few who have made their marks throughout the history of war.

good story

lots of background noise. very distracting while trying to listen. good listen other than that

Absolutely fantastic

A truly fantastic look into the world of a marine sniper in Vietnam. This man is one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. Carlos Hathcock needs to be a household name, I can’t believe I wasn’t aware of this man. So many great scenes in movies are based off of his experience and expertise. Hathcock is modest yet fierce, all while having the unwavering confidence of knowing he was saving marines by putting his own life on the line. An inspiring and heart wrenching story that will make you swell with pride and at times make you cringe at what these fine men endured in those hellish jungles. It is very well written and the narrator keeps you fully entertained. Hands down the best audiobook I’ve read to date. Absolutely fantastic

great book

this book was a great reflection on the man who developed marine corps sniping. highly recommended for anyone interested in war or shooting

Great Story

This was a great story about the life, successes and failures of a legend!
the narrator did a great job reading and didn't try to over-do any of their personification of characters as many do in these types of books.

Great read and listen for those who appreciate special warfare and are grateful for the service of our military members.

The in-depth information in behind the scenes storylines conveyed a perspective, unlike any other for those who fought in a special way in Vietnam. To know what some of our military was going through during that war provides the public, a greater understanding and appreciation for the service men and women fight for our country whether they had a choice too or not.
