About this ebook
They say it's not the target but the hunt that matters. Sniping and hunting are similar in many ways; both hunter and a sniper need to be adept at stealth and should have pinpoint marksmanship. Snipers have helped their country to grab victory from the jaws of an abysmal defeat. With one deadly shot, they make the impossible, possible. Be it Carlos Hathcock, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Simo hayha, Chris Kyle, they have all sacrificed all that they hold dear for serving their country. There is any number of deadly snipers, but this book tells the tale of four such individuals who have achieved such stupendous feat that it is unfathomable.
Carlos Hathcock, the man known to many in the US as the deadliest American sniper, indomitable and fearsome, an indispensable asset during the Vietnam War, is a soft-spoken and gentle family man to his folks. The man dressed in the green marine uniform flaunted a white feather on his hat, a sheer badassery, making open ribaldry of the enemy forces and daring them to spot him amidst the green patina of rice fields in Southern Vietnam. This habit of Carlos had earned him the moniker "White Feather".
Lyudmila Pavlichenko is one of the world's deadliest female snipers. She was a terror on the battleground. Her cachet as a sniper was so popular that even the Germans kept count of her kills. They plotted her death umpteen times, but Pavlichenko escaped unscathed every single time. Her sniping badassery earned her the moniker "Lady Death" in the short span of her military career. Feared by the enemy and revered by her dear comrades, Pavlichenko lives in the hearts of several Russian young men and women as a beacon of inspiration.
Simo Hayha, or the White Death is one of the deadliest snipers in the history of mankind. He was a straight-up terror for the Soviet men during the winter war. Hiding amongst the snowy brambles was death, a silent and sudden one. As Soviet men fell like flies on the snow avalanche, they knew they were sailing close to the winds. Forsaking their conspicuous green military uniform itself could have helped them not be a sitting duck for Finnish snipers buried in heaps of snow. But by the time Stalin realized his foibles, it was way too late. Stalin anticipated that the mighty Red Army would bulldoze the paltry Finland force. But he forgot that Finland had White Death by its side to defend its borders.
This book holds in its pages the story of Simo Hayha, the White Death who rained havoc on his enemy troops claiming the lives of 505 men. When the number of kills exceeds the total number of days in a war you know its real terror that the man Simo Hayha is. Standing 5 feet tall and with an unassuming demeanor, Simo Hayha is easily overlooked, a quality that serves him well as a sniper.
Chris Kyle was no ordinary man; he was a legend. His illustrious sniping career lasted a decade and has as many as 160 confirmed kills. Kyle's stupendous performance in the Iraq War was so badass that the insurgents called him the Devil of Ramadi.
