In the War on Terror, there are no set battles. The fanatical enemy adheres to no warrior code or international law. Their only desire is to kill—or be killed.

That’s where the snipers of the U.S. Marines, Army, and Navy SEALs come in . . .
 
Here, in their own words, are the compelling true stories of the snipers whose sole purpose is to eliminate the enemy with a single bullet. From Iraq to Afghanistan, this is life and death as seen through the scope of a high-powered rifle.
 
These snipers’ stories illustrate the mental discipline and psychological strength that they must possess to accomplish their missions, the effect a sniper’s skill and reputation has on the enemy, and how they deal with the stark reality of their work after the target is neutralized—and after a sniper returns to civilian life.
 
Part wartime chronicle, part psychological exploration of the warrior mind, and part exposé into a secretive brotherhood of military snipers, Hunters is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the truth about war when it’s fought one kill at a time.

Title: Redemption - Awesome Bravo Milo!
Review: Milo's second book pays tribute to all military snipers doing their job of keeping us safe. They are all highly skilled and all great men. Milo's skills in writing have greatly increased. I enjoyed reading the book cover to cover. Chapter 7 Redemption should be turned into a movie - it is a powerful story that needs to to be told from those who where part of it. Semper Fi

Title: Good read
Review: I liked the way the individual story for each soldier is told. Not the sluggish read a few critics claimed at all.

Title: POETIC PAYBACK
Review: a superb follow-up companion volume to Afong's initial and exciting work, HOGS IN THE SHADOW (also 5-stars highly recommended). HUNTERS starts off a bit slow and in the beginning, lacks the quick rush and punch of adrenaline inducing combat stories of US sniper action in IRAQ. at the onset...he attempts to fill in the gaps of sniper employment in AFGHANISTAN missing in his first book...a prior omission he is perhaps hard pressed to rectify?. in addition, Afong a former USMC sniper attempts to be all-inclusive by relating US sniper actions on the part of USN SEALS, US ARMY & SPECIAL FORCES (HOGS who know how to reach out and touch someone)...although enlightening to those outside of this exclusive shooting community....it tended to disburse and dilute his own personal area of specialty and experience, i.e., US MARINE CORPS sniper doctrine. however in later chapters....AFONG incorporates several declassified US sniper after-action reports & anecdotes on certain battle actions involving their expertise deployment, all written and recounted in his sparse wry narrative style in ensuing chapters does loom up and does not fail to satisfy. the amazing tale of the 'LOST USMC SNIPER RIFLE' captured by iraqi insurgents (the enemy ambush and killed all four members of an USMC Headhunter 2-Bravo sniper team in Ramandi)....the captured marine sniper rifle falls into enemy's hands and is subsequently used by an iraqi sniper killing americans....fast-forward two years later, the same rifle is recovered an USMC sniper team when they inadvertently encounter (while on a routine counter IED survelliance and neutralization mission) and take out the iraqi sniper. reads like a hollywood movie plot! but is absolutely true! this astounding tale of redemption is alone worth the price of the book! also there is nothing more satisfying than reading about US sniper teams eliminating (with extreme prejudice and surgical precision) iraqi IED planters caught in the act...sweet poetic payback!

Title: excellent read
Review: I really enjoy Military history since I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps. This was an excellent read and I read it just under four days. I thought the interviews with snipers from the different branches of the service was well done and extremely insightful on how they train and operate.

Title: Hunters: U.S. Snipers in the War on Terror
Review: This is a good follow up to Milo S. Afong's previous book "Hogs in the Shadows". This is not a work of fiction but the stories of actual operations. It give great insite into the lives of soldiers and what they have to endure both in training to become Snipers, and the stress they endure in combat. Great book.

Title: Alright.
Review: Not the worst book but not the best either. Didn't have that moment that jumped out at you, seemed like it was kind of thrown together to fill pages, but it did keep me coming back.
