$49.95 HB
The advent of jungle warfare in the South
Pacific in 1942 opened an entirely new chapter in the art of fieldcraft and marksmanship
as it pertained to the U.S. Marine Corps. It called for formulating innovative tactics
still more efficient than those successfully implemented by the scouts, observers and
snipers of World War I in order to effectively eliminate the Japanese jungle fighter, a
new and different enemy. With that in mind, the Corps set about to train and field a new
breed of combat specialist: The U.S. Marine Corps scout sniper. Peter R. Senich has
documented what is undoubtedly the most thorough and accurate account ever published of
the training, equipment and combat experiences that comprised this important facet of the
history of Marine Corps sniping. Contains rare combat and training photos of scout snipers
in action.
