Sniper One: On Scope and Under Siege with a Sniper… door Dan Mills
Thoroughly enjoyed this first-hand account of the British siege of Al Amarah and what they went through to hold that position. Lots of good sniper lore here, even more interesting stuff about how men cope under those kind of prolonged battle conditions. Not the usual sneak-and-peek and shoot, but a story about men under siege.
Unflinching look of a British Sniper and his time in Iraq. The book tells it like it was, warts an all. The good times, the bad times, the feelings that take over one during combat. Book reads like a novel and flows excellently, it was hard to put this one down. Top notch look at modern warfare through a foreign serviceman's eyes.
Sgt. Dan Mills harrowing account of daily life for the 1st Battalion of the Princess of Wale's Royal Regiment stationed in Iraq, is one page-turning scenario after another. As a small but formidable sniper platoon sent to win over the Iraqi people, they found themselves deployed into the center of what seemed to be limitless attacks by well-organized militias with only murder on their minds. I liked that the no-nonsense story delivered on a level that put you behind the scope, and didn't ram patriotism down your throat. They were there to do a thankless job, and Mills method of delivery is easily understood and appreciated.… (meer)
What a great read... compelling true story of British army life in Iraq whilst under siege.
Well written, and I couldn't put it down.
