In 1986, Charles Henderson first published Marine Sniper-the incredible story of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, whose 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam have never been matched by any sniper before or since.

Now, the incredible story of a remarkable Marine continues-with harrowing, never-before-published accounts of courage and perseverance. These are the powerful stories of a man who rose to greatness not for personal gain or glory, but for duty and honor. A rare inside look at the U.S. Marine's most challenging missions-and the one man who made military history.

Silent Warrior

This was an enjoyable book I was after information on snipers duing the Viet Nam era and I found a lot of information in this book. It was hard to put it down.

a must read for military buffs

Read the story of Carlos Hathcock, "White Feather", just another American Hero our country chose to abandon.

Great book

Great book, excellent condition for a used book.
Fantastic price, but shipping a tad high.

For those who miss Carlos...

This is a book that was published after Calos' passing. It is well written, a loving rememberance of a friend near to the author. If you are touched by deep patriotism or just rugged independence and dedication to one's peers there is no finer story that brings these qualities to light than that of Calos Hathcock II.

The legendary White Feather.

The material used for "Silent Warrior" were the pages that were cut from "Marine Sniper" to manage the size of that first book. So this book is based on much of the same interviews and recollections.

I found "Silent Warrior" to be as good or better than "Marine Sniper".
The first book may have had more details about some of the shootings, but this book has more details about the sniper's mission-oriented targets and what made them valuable as targets.

The noble reason for writing the first book is elaborated on.

In "Silent Warrior" the reader gets to see the heroism of Carlos Hathcock when he saved other Marines at his own expense,suffering terrible burns that eventually contributed to ending his career. The character of his sniper-partner John Burke and his heroism in the field was detailed.

This book has emotion in the pages. In part because it was written after Carlos Hathcock had passed away. Mr Henderson takes the reader along on fishing trips and ceremonies that were part of Hatchcock's life towards the end.
Both "Marine Sniper" and "Silent Warrior" are excellent books and recommended for anyone that wants to read about the most fearsome sniper ever to serve the U.S.A.
