Synopsis

For over a century, the United States of America has been the mightiest nation the world has ever seen This is due, in large part, to its citizen servants who risk life and limb for the preservation of the American way of life. Among these citizen soldiers, there exists an elite few who have dedicated their lives to the art of the rifle. Today, they bare the hard earned title “Sniper,” and while it is regarded as a relatively modern method of warfare, it turns out that they have been there since the birth cry of America.

Discover the hidden history of America's elite snipers beyond the legends of Chris Kyle and Carlos Hathcock. From the Revolutionary War to modern warfare, Sniper’s Discretion: Unveiling America’s Sharpshooter History delves into the origins and evolution of the sniper profession. Unveiling a narrative of struggle and resilience, this book exposes how snipers have continually fought to prove their worth despite being often overlooked. Exploring pivotal moments in U.S. history, it critiques the nation's treatment of sharpshooters and reveals overlooked mistakes. Through primary sources, it traces the birth of sniping and challenges justifications for dismantling sniper programs in various conflicts. Sniper’s Discretion: Unveiling America’s Sharpshooter History also confronts modern societal trends that jeopardize elite military capabilities, offering a compelling account of the sniper's enduring impact on American warfare.
