A must read book is "Lone Survivor". It has it all. You won't be able to put it down.

Some would say that 'Shooter' isn't non fiction.

Try 'Trigger Men', chapter five.

Re: Good Non-Fiction Sniper Book...?

I read Sniper One because of the reviews here. It was alright and sometimes it was hard to follow the British slang.
I also just reread Dear Mom: A sniper's Vietnam. I thought this was much better than Sniper One.
I have 20 hour flight I am saving Hogs in the shadows for. Hope it is good.

Do not read Ronin it sucks green Donkey Dicks. The first chapter is a Bitch about the Major that wouldn't let the Snipers take a high value target and each subsequent chapter is the same bitch told the same way by a different person.

I couldn't finish the book it sucked so bad.

I really like Trigger Men and Sniper One. I just got a flier from the military book club and I'm going to pick up "Hunters, US snipers in the war on terror". Its not a sniper book but I think get "They fought for each other" too.

sniper one, great book if you can get over the language barrier! on par with some other recent great reads, hogs in the shadows, my men are heroes

Re: Good Non-Fiction Sniper Book...?

I have read the following in the last month, listed in order of reading:
Sniper One
Hogs in the Shadow
Shooter by Jack Coughlin
Trigger Men

I enjoyed all of them, but definitely had favorites.
Ranked Highest to Lowest:
Shooter - I enjoyed the complete story and not a bunch of short stories like the Hog and Trigger books. Can't take everything word for word, but overall great.
Hogs in the Shadow - This is well written, but seems like short stories.
Trigger Men - It seems to jump around a lot during the book, but talks a bit about 5.56 sniping (quite interesting to me). Similar to Hogs.
Sniper One - It is more about the siege and the patrolling sniper teams, but still good.

One of the most exciting and non stop reads I have read is Lone Survivor. This is a must read and has some sniping in it.

Re: Good Non-Fiction Sniper Book...?

I agree with ya, Recko555... Lone Survivor is a helluva good book! I read it from cover to cover in one day, just could not put it down. Not a lot of technical sniping info like some of the other books mentioned, but the story is riveting & 100% worth reading.

I've also read Hogs in the Shadows, Sniper One, & 13 Cent Killers in the last few weeks, thanks to this thread. Working on Trigger Men now...
