-Titulo Original : Sniper One On Scope And Under Siege With A Sniper Team In Iraq
-Fabricante :
St. Martins Griffin
-Descripcion Original:
About the Author Sgt. Dan Mills was decorated for his command of an eighteen-man sniper platoon during the siege of Al Amarah. During a long army career he has served in Bosnia, Kosovo, Northern Ireland, and the Falkland Islands. Sniper One is his first book. When Sgt. Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess of Waless Royal Regiment flew into Iraq in April, 2004, they were supposed to be winning hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives.Within hours of their arrival in Iraq, a grenade bounced off one of the battalions Land Rovers, rolled underneath and detonated. The ambush marked the beginning of a full-scale firefight during which Mills killed a man with a round that removed his assailants head. It was going to be a long tour.Like some post-apocalyptic Mad Max nightmare, the place had gone to hell in a handbasket. Temperatures on the ground often topped 120 degrees Fahrenheit, sewage systems had long since packed up, and the stench of cooking waste and piles of festering garbage grew wherever you looked. Throat-burning winds, blast bombs and well-trained, well-organized militias armed with AKs, RPGs and a limitless supply of mortar rounds were the icing on the cake.If any of Millss eighteen-man sniper platoon had thought that the people of Al Amarah were going to welcome them with open arms, they were rapidly forced to reconsider. For the next six months, isolated, besieged and under constant fire, the battalion refused to give an inch.Sniper One is a breathtaking chronicle of endurance, camaraderie, dark humor and courage in the face of relentless, lethal assault. Review “One of the best first-hand accounts of combat that Ive ever read.” Andy McNab, international bestselling author of Bravo Two Zero“Mills powerfully describes the demanding work of his snipers before and after the city was brought under control (more or less). . . . British participation in Iraq has been largely ignored in the United States. That should change with Millss page-turning account, already an international bestseller.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Possibly the years best book, so far, on combat in Iraq.” Booklist“Another testosterone-laced memoir of an elite unit kicking butt in Iraq, this one with a cheerful, politically incorrect British twist. . . . A military memoir refreshingly devoid of the usual patriotic overlay.” Kirkus Reviews“A gritty, speedball run…strong, cohesive, and complete…plugs the reader straight into the blood and guts of the action.” The Times (UK)
