Description

HIGHLY TRAINED MARKSMEN WITH ONE GOAL — A PERFECT SHOT, A CONFIRMED KILL

Elite snipers — with their deadly aim, iron nerves, killer instincts and unwavering courage — play a more critical role in modern military missions than ever before. Confirmed Kill accurately recounts the heroic actions of the world’s deadliest snipers, from the one-on-one duel between a U.S. Marine sniper and his North Vietnamese counterpart that ended with a miracle shot straight through the Vietcong soldier’s gun scope, to the shot fired from a mountain ridge in Afghanistan that dropped an unsuspecting Taliban fighter over a mile away. Confirmed Kill details the missions of the most legendary snipers:

Chuck Mawhinney— Marine with 103 Vietnam War Confirmed Kills
Adelbert Waldron— U.S. Record Holder with 109 Confirmed Kills
Timothy Kellner— Army Sergeant with More Than 100 Confirmed Kills in Operation Iraqi Freedom
Craig Harrison— British Corporal with the World-Record Kill Shot at 2,707 Yards
