Sommario/riassunto: | Author Lena Sisco, a former Department of Defense Military Interrogator and U.S. Navy officer, takes the reader through the missions and personal lives of U.S. Marines who have been forward-deployed in hostile environments all across the Middle East. She shows how they use the mastery of their sniper skills to mitigate threats and negate the enemy's ability to disrupt U.S. operations. Her book lets you feel the stress and anxiety of their operational tempo; you witness the successes and failures and the struggles of these highly trained, brave, silent killers. |
