Run to the Sound of the Guns: The True Story of an American Ranger at War in Afghanistan and IraqMir Bahmanyar
Sniper: American Single-Shot Warriors in Iraq and Afghanistan
From Afghanistan's Hindu Kush peaks and sunbaked Helmand Valley to Baghdad, Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq, American snipers have braved heart-pounding situations to hit their human targets dead-on. Few military feats stir the imagination like the image of a pair of riflemen waiting quietly in a building, a bomb crater, or a mountain pass for a Taliban or Al Qaeda fighter to walk into their crosshairs.
Sniper presents real-life tales from the military's frontline snipers-their hits and their misses, the anguish of loss, and the anxiety of the first kill. Authors Gina Cavallaro and Matt Larsen provide riveting accounts of American soldiers and marines on the battlefield, and take a rare look at how Rangers and Special Forces snipers train and operate, and how the war on terror has changed the role of military snipers.

Kom ungefär halvvägs in innan jag tröttnade. Märkligt upplägg med kast mellan personliga anekdoter, intervjuer och andrahandsberättelser. Uppläsaren förställer rösten när hon ska citera män, möjligtvis i ett försök att låta manlig men hon låter mest som en utvecklingsstörd.

TråkigInformativSom en väldigt lång och ganska dåligt skriven tidningsartikel. Till synes slumpmässiga intervjuer med ett antal prickskyttar. Ingen direkt övergripande berättelse eller frågeställning. Uppläsaren har en trevlig röst när hon inte härmar de intervjuades röster och dialekter, vilket hon gör mest hela tiden.
