The war on terror—fought shot by shot, bullet by bullet, kill by kill.  The ongoing War on Terror is unlike any conflict the United States Armed Forces have fought. There are no set battles. The 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. Marine, Army, and Navy SEALs come in.  Here in their own words are the compelling and gripping true stories of the snipers whose sole purpose is to eliminate any and all enemy threats with a single bullet. From the deserts and rubble-strewn streets of Iraq to the endless labyrinth of the remote Afghanistan mountain country, this is life and death beyond the front lines of battle and behind the scope of a high-powered rifle. “Milo Afong is a sniper writing about snipers and he describes the story behind the story the way one Marine would describe it to another.”—Hans Halberstadt, author of Trigger Men   Praise for HOGs in the Shadows: Marine Snipers in Action   “A riveting view behind the sniper rifle.”—Marco Martinez, author of Hard Corps   “Anyone doubting the nature of America’s mission in Iraq need look no further than these grim accounts.”— Kirkus Reviews   “Will give you a personal look inside the mentally and physically demanding world of the Marine Sniper in combat, almost to the point you could feel the recoil yourself.”—SFC Frank R.

Afong is the recipient of the Purple Heart, the Combat Action Ribbon, and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with the Combat Distinguishing Device.
