Contemporary accounts show how the use of the rifle during the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and the more recent conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries have affected US military history. This detailed account concludes with a study of the US sniper in modern warfare, right up to the ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, providing a fascinating glimpse into the relentless march of weapons technology and the lives of the men who use it.
