Sniping and hunting are similar in many ways; both hunter and a sniper need to be adept at stealth and should have pinpoint marksmanship. Snipers have helped their country to grab victory from the jaws of an abysmal defeat. With one deadly shot, they make the impossible, possible. Be it Carlos Hathcock, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Simo hayha, Chris Kyle, they have all sacrificed all that they hold dear for serving their country. There is any number of deadly snipers, but this book tells the tale of four such individuals who have achieved such stupendous feat that it is unfathomable. Carlos Hathcock, the man known to many in the US as the deadliest American sniper, indomitable and fearsome, an indispensable asset during the Vietnam War, is a soft-spoken and gentle family man to his folks. The man dressed in the green marine uniform flaunted a white feather on his hat, a sheer badassery, making open ribaldry of the enemy forces and daring them to spot him amidst the green patina of rice fields in Southern Vietnam. This habit of Carlos had earned him the moniker "White Feather". Lyudmila Pavlichenko is one of the world's deadliest female snipers. She was a terror on the battleground. Her cachet as a sniper was so popular that even the Germans kept count of her kills. They plotted her death umpteen times, but Pavlichenko escaped unscathed every single time. Her sniping badassery earned her the moniker "Lady Death" in the short span of her military career. Feared by the enemy and revered by her dear comrades, Pavlichenko lives in the hearts of several Russian young men and women as a beacon of inspiration. Simo Hayha, or the White Death is one of the deadliest snipers in the history of mankind. He was a straight-up terror for the Soviet men during the winter war. Hiding amongst the snowy brambles was death, a silent and sudden one. As Soviet men fell like flies on the snow avalanche, they knew they were sailing close to the winds. Forsaking their conspicuous green military uniform itself could have helped them not be a sitting duck for Finnish snipers buried in heaps of snow. But by the time Stalin realized his foibles, it was way too late. Stalin anticipated that the mighty Red Army would bulldoze the paltry Finland force. But he forgot that Finland had White Death by its side to defend its borders. This book holds in its pages the story of Simo Hayha, the White Death who rained havoc on his enemy troops claiming the lives of 505 men. When the number of kills exceeds the total number of days in a war you know its real terror that the man Simo Hayha is. Standing 5 feet tall and with an unassuming demeanor, Simo Hayha is easily overlooked, a quality that serves him well as a sniper. Chris Kyle was no ordinary man; he was a legend. His illustrious sniping career lasted a decade and has as many as 160 confirmed kills. Kyle's stupendous performance in the Iraq War was so badass that the insurgents called him the Devil of Ramadi.

Download or read book Total Focus written by Brandon Webb and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do at work when a hundred crises seem to be happening at the same time? Do you pick just one priority or try to put out every fire? How can you stay composed, figure out what really matters, and act decisively? When former U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Brandon Webb transitioned to civilian life, he struggled to get his first startup business off the ground. He raised millions for his new venture, only to lose it all as problems spiraled out of his control. In the wake of that failure, Webb realized that successful entrepreneurs need a skill he had already mastered: total focus. SEAL snipers define it as the ability to filter out noise and chaos so you can make life-or-death decisions under the extreme conditions of combat. If he could maintain total focus while staring through crosshairs at a man who might (or might not) be an Al Qaeda terrorist, surely he could do the same in the business world. So Webb started over, applying total focus to a new startup, a media company called Hurricane Group. His approach was so effective that in just five years, Hurricane grew to have a staff of over fifty, an audience in the tens of millions, and a valuation of more than $100 million. In this book, Webb teaches us to make better decisions under extreme pressure by emulating the habits of his fellow warriors, as well as other skills he learned on the job and from great friends and business leaders like Solomon Choi of 16 Handles, Matt Meeker of BarkBox, and Betsy Morgan of the Huffington Post and TheBlaze. For instance, you’ll discover: · The difference between total focus and tunnel vision is developing total situational awareness: the ability to spot opportunities and threats without getting distracted from your goal. · You can overcome indecisiveness and hesitancy by accepting violence of action: a decision to move forward with an imperfect plan, knowing that even the best-laid plans go wrong. · Entrepreneurs must learn to embrace the suck, refusing to quit when the going gets brutal, and recognizing that unexpected challenges may reveal your best shot at success. By following the tactics and wisdom of a generation of legendary snipers and business leaders, you’ll find the clarity of mind you need to accomplish your own mission—whatever it takes.

Book Synopsis Manoeuvres, Shots and Drops - Dive Bomber Pilot Richard Halsey Best In World War 2 by : Edgar Wollstone
Download or read book Manoeuvres, Shots and Drops - Dive Bomber Pilot Richard Halsey Best In World War 2 written by Edgar Wollstone and published by AJS. This book was released on with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard H. Best, or simply Dick as known among his comrades was an American dive bomber who managed to sink two Japanese aircraft carriers, including the flagship Akagi on a single day during the Battle of Midway. The Battle of Midway was one of the most decisive battles that turned the tables for the United States of America in the Second World War. Best was in his best as he shot one Japanese carrier after the other. He was the recipient of the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross awards. Though Best was posthumously recommended for Medal of Honor, it didn’t see fruition. It is incredulous that one man was able to turn the tides of the World War II in just one day. With all four carriers decimated, the Japanese navy was in tatters. If its fleet wasn’t annihilated by the American dive bombers, Japan would have continued its belligerence unabated and with impunity. Born in Bayonne, Best always aspired to be a pilot someday. He grew up listening to the legends of air veterans of World War One. It is no wonder that Best came out to be the best dive bomber during World War 2.

How did Sidorenko become adept at a sport that he never learned at all? What is sniping and how did it come about to be used in World War 2? How did snipers sway the scales of victory in World War Two?

In this age of technology, an increasing majority of the world's information is stored electronically.

As professional hackers, Johnny Long and Kevin Mitnick get paid to uncover weaknesses in those systems and exploit them.

Book Synopsis Carlos Hathcock - Vietnam's Most Wanted Sniper by : Edgar Wollstone
Download or read book Carlos Hathcock - Vietnam's Most Wanted Sniper written by Edgar Wollstone and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CARLOS HATHCOCK - VIETNAM'S MOST WANTED SNIPER Carlos Hathcock, the man known to many in the US as the deadliest American sniper, indomitable and fearsome, an indispensable asset during the Vietnam War, is a soft-spoken and gentle family man to his folks. The man dressed in the green marine uniform flaunted a white feather on his hat, a sheer badassery, making open ribaldry of the enemy forces and daring them to spot him amidst the green patina of rice fields in Southern Vietnam. This habit of Carlos had earned him the moniker "White Feather". As was common during war, the enemy had placed a few thousand dollars bounty on many US snipers. But Carlos' notoriety and badassery was so famed and feared among the enemies that they placed a whopping 30,000-dollar bounty on his head. With 93 confirmed kills and over 300 unconfirmed, Carlos had sealed his place among the world's deadliest snipers. Crawling his way to the den of his target, waiting in the prowl embracing the stillness of the dead, pulling his trigger with immaculate precision, and returning his way to his tent on the hilltop undetected, with such finesse and expertise that Carlos makes it all look effortless. But knowing the nuanced details of his painfully sluggish mode of transport that would take at least days before he "worms" his way through the swampy and muddy rice fields, during day and night, one cannot stop to think what a harrowing experience it would have been. Carlos, himself was homesick and lonely but that didn't dent his resolve to butcher the men who had no qualms in firing away at his fellow marines. The lonely nights that Carlos spends ruminating on his bunker on the hilltop, listening to the wind howling through every chink on the makeshift roof, he was reminded of his grandma's cottage in the countryside in Arkansas. How lovely and boisterous had those days been, Carlos was nostalgic, and his heart had doddered off to a place of remove. It happens often, on nights like these. This is a riveting tale of an US marine who was enamored by his profession, lived, and died completely surrendering to the sport of sniping. His tale of scaling great heights and eventually losing it all is equally inspiring and heart breaking.
Book Synopsis Operation Vengeance - Killing Admiral Yamamoto by : Edgar Wollstone
Download or read book Operation Vengeance - Killing Admiral Yamamoto written by Edgar Wollstone and published by AJS. This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humiliating attack on Pearl Harbor had left a sour taste in the mouths of Americans. It had to be avenged. A direct attack on the mastermind behind the dastardly attack would be the sweetest revenge. A plan was chalked up and they gave it a befitting moniker-Operation Vengeance. A story of revenge unfolds in mid-air over the skies of Bougainville when the United States of America showed the chutzpah to take on the highest-ranking Japanese official-Isoroku Yamamoto. Operation Vengeance was an aerial ambush like none other. On the early hours of April 18, 1943, the skies above the Solomon Islands began to split apart with the thunderous roars of fighters and the mighty P-38 Lightning squads. The Japanese fighters are caught unawares; they ripped through the azure clouds, cleaving the stillness of ephemeral tranquility, attempting to dodge the deadly shots being fired from the enemy P-38 and defend their Commander. Two Bettys were covered by three fighter escorts, but which one had the Admiral? The P-38 Lightning pilots had no clue. The wind speed, the weather conditions, the enemy pilots’ efficacy, all these factors had to work in a magical unison for the mission to work. The capricious weather and the Pacific winds were the least reliable and they could only count on their luck. But their target had one quality they could rely on, Yamamoto’s fanatical punctuality. Operation Vengeance is a story of revenge, pride, valor, patriotism, and incredible chutzpah. When the enemy breaks all rules and attempts to stab from the back, there is no time to hem and haw; the enemy needs to get a taste of its own medicine.
