Historie

Real-life accounts of the highly trained marksmen who have honed the art of killing to a fine edge—and can turn the tides of war with one perfect shot.

Elite snipers—with their deadly aim, iron nerves, killer instincts and unwavering courage—play a more critical role in modern military missions than ever before. Confirmed Kill accurately recounts the heroic actions of the world’s deadliest snipers, from the one-on-one duel between a U.S. Marine sniper and his North Vietnamese counterpart that ended with a miracle shot straight through the Vietcong soldier’s gun scope, to the shot fired from a mountain ridge in Afghanistan that dropped an unsuspecting Taliban fighter over a mile away. Confirmed Kill details the missions of the most legendary snipers:Chuck Mawhinney • —Marine with 103 Vietnam War confirmed kills Adelbert Waldron • —U.S. record holder with 109 confirmed kills Timothy Kellner • —Army sergeant with more than 100 confirmed kills in Operation Iraqi Freedom Craig Harrison • —British corporal with the world-record kill shot at 2,707 Yards
