Download or read book Long Shot written by Azad Cudi and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kurdish journalist who volunteered as a sniper in the fight against ISIS reveals his story in a “gripping memoir . . . elegantly told” (Publishers Weekly). In 2002, at age nineteen, Azad was conscripted into Iran’s army and forced to fight his own people. Refusing to go to war against his fellow Kurds, he deserted and smuggled himself to the United Kingdom, where he was granted asylum, became a citizen, and learned English. But in 2014, having returned to the Middle East as a social worker in the wake of the Syrian civil war, Azad found he would have to pick up a weapon once again. After twenty-one days of intensive training as a sniper, Azad became one of seventeen volunteer marksmen deployed by the Kurdish army when ISIS besieged the city of Kobani in Rojava, the newly autonomous region of the Kurds. Here, he tells the inside story of the Kurdish forces’ bloody street battles against the Islamic State. Vastly outnumbered, the Kurds would have to kill the jihadis one by one, and Azad takes us on a harrowing journey to reveal the sniper unit’s essential role in ISIS’s eventual defeat. Weaving the brutal events of war with personal and political reflection, he meditates on the incalculable price of victory—the permanent effects of war on the body and mind; the devastating death of six of his closest comrades; the loss of hundreds of volunteers in battle. But as Azad explains, these sacrifices saved not only a city but a people and their land. “A propulsive memoir that captures the grim reality of small-scale conflict and reveals the fragmented politics of the Middle East today” (Kirkus Reviews), Long Shot tells how, against all odds, a few thousand men and women achieved the impossible and kept their dream of freedom alive.

Book excerpt: IN THE TRADITION OF BESTSELLING POLICE NOVELS BY JOSEPH WAMBAUGH TWO COPS ON THE ELITE SNIPER TEAM. ONE OF THEM IS A MURDERER. THE OTHER ONE KNOWS IT. ONLY ONE WILL SURVIVE. SNIPER SHOT is the dramatic and suspenseful debut novel about the ongoing and potentially deadly conflict between Ben Geller, sniper on the Stratton, Oregon Special Response Team, and Bob Slater, the team's secondary sniper. Geller is the primary sniper despite Slater's superior marksmanship skills. Slater, a world-class long-distance high powered rifle competitive shooter, lacks the patience and discipline needed to assume the position of primary sniper. SNIPER SHOT takes the reader deep into the world of this special elite team, and through a series of extraordinary twists and turns, moves towards a showdown that nobody expected between Geller and Slater. One of them is a robber and murderer, and the game of cat and mouse between them sets up one of the most exciting and dramatic stories in recent suspense fiction. Barry Ozeroff, a 21-year police veteran and former SWAT sniper, is a hostage negotiator and motorcycle officer with the Gresham, Oregon Police Department. Barry lives in Oregon with his wife and three children; and SNIPER SHOT is his first book. Look for the sequel in RETURN FIRE.
Download or read book American Sniper written by Chris Kyle and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster, Academy-Award nominated movie. “An amazingly detailed account of fighting in Iraq--a humanizing, brave story that’s extremely readable.” — PATRICIA CORNWELL, New York Times Book Review "Jaw-dropping...Undeniably riveting." —RICHARD ROEPER, Chicago Sun-Times From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
Book Synopsis The Longest Kill by : Craig Harrison
Download or read book The Longest Kill written by Craig Harrison and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through conflicts in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, this is the vivid memoir of British sniper Craig Harrison. It takes a tough mindset to be a successful sniper, to be able to dig in for days on your own as you wait for your target, to stay calm on a battlefield when you yourself have become the target the enemy most want to take out. Craig Harrison has what it takes and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill – 2,475 metres, the length of twenty-five football pitches. In The Longest Kill, his unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the heat of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, and gives heart-stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press he also had to cope with Al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high.
Download or read book Kill Zone written by Craig Roberts and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, former U.S. Marie sniper Craig Robers, a seasoned veteran of the Vietnam war, stood for the first time at the 6th floor "sniper's nest" window of the Texas School Book Depository. As he looked down into what the U.S. Government maintains was the kill zone used by Lee Harvey Oswald, he immediately knew that the Warran Commission's verdict--that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone from that position, fired three shots in 5.6 seconds from a bolt-action rifle, with the fatal head shot being the last fired--was a lie. Why? Because Roberts, a combat experienced marksman, knew that he could not have duplicated Oswald's supposed feat--even if armed with the much more modern sniper rifle he used with devastating accuracy in Vietnam. At that moment, Roberts, a 20 year veteran police officer, investigator, and recognized authority on sniping, began an investigation that would last six years, take him into the shadow world of clandestine intelligence operations--and beyond--to discover the existence of a sinister organization that resides far above the CIA, KGB, the Mafia, and even government itself. An entity so powerful that, the elimination of a country's leader was little more than business as usual.

Book Synopsis One Shot One Kill by : Charles W. Sasser
Download or read book One Shot One Kill written by Charles W. Sasser and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1990-04-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They are the lone wolves of the battlefield. Tracking the enemy, lying in wait for the target to appear—then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of camouflage, combat snipers stalk the enemy with only one goal... In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers honed the art of delivering a single deadly shot from nowhere—and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, picking off officers, unwary soldiers, and even other snipers from extraordinary distances of up to 1 ½ miles. Now, these uncommon men tell their stories: of the emotions felt when a man's face came into their crosshairs and they pulled the trigger, of the nerve-wracking hours and days of waiting, motionless, for the enemy, of the primal savagery of a sniper duel. Often trained haphazardly in wartime, and forgotten in times of peace, combat snipers were officially recognized after the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps became the first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. One Shot-One Kill is their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories.
