What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Great sniper craft stories told with an insider’s knowledge. The lessons learned and the stories told still apply to today’s sniper.” –Howard Wasdin, retired Navy SEAL Team Six sniper and New York Times bestselling author of SEAL Team Six

“An uncomfortable look behind the scope of one of the USMCs most accomplished but previously unknown snipers. Reading this book will send chills down your spine.” –Brandon Webb, former Navy SEAL sniper course manager and New York Times bestselling author of The Red Circle

“As someone who has the honor of holding the title, Sniper, it’s amazing and truly humbling to be able to finally hear the astonishing and gripping history of one of the most lethal snipers in US military history. Chuck’s story and his remarkable success as a sniper will be discussed and studied for generations to come, as it should be. With 103 confirmed kills, Chuck is the deadliest sniper in Marine Corps history. A nearly impossible feat, only made possible by the most lethal man in Vietnam.” –Nicholas Irving, U.S. Army special operations sniper and New York Times bestselling author of The Reaper and Ghost Target

“I feel Jim has done an excellent job of the book and telling my story. I’m just a simple person and in Vietnam I was just doing my job.” –Chuck Mawhinney, Marine Corps sniper (ret.)
