This book is created in the form of memories of Hesketh Prichard who served as a soldier for the British army during World War I and was acknowledged as a famous sniper. He made a great contribution to the development of sniping in Great Britain. Prichard recalls how he opened a school for snipers and promoted the popularity of this profession. The book also carefully analyzes the psychology of a sniper, all his feelings and thoughts before the mission, during and after it. Of course, nowadays most of people in developed countries do not know much about war and it seems to them to be a phantom from the past but we should remember that it existed and still exists and that many people are being killed just right now. The story is very expressive and interesting for reading so it is definitely recommended for those readers interested in history of wars and in personal experience of a separate ordinary person who took part in the war.
