A comprehensive illustrated history of snipers, their training and their battlefield role in all theaters in World War II. Thousands of volumes have been published about World War II but relatively little attention has been given to the sniper. Drawing from memoirs, government documents and interviews, Snipers of World War II incorporates eyewitness accounts to weave a comprehensive narrative of snipers in World War II.

The scope of Snipers of World War II is extensive with three chapters each on the major theaters of the war including Western Europe,
