The Sniper: The Untold Story of the Marine Corps’ Greatest Marksman of All Time
 

The Vietnam War was the testing ground and battlefield where Charles “Chuck” Mawhinney earned his name as being the U.S. Marine Corps’ deadliest sniper. With 103 confirmed kills to his name, all in just over 16 months, he is a legend among sharpshooters in every branch of the U.S. military.

Now, in the pages of The Sniper, you can read his story for yourself. Learn about his days growing up hunting in Oregon, the events that led to him joining the Marine Corps to fight in the Vietnam War, and his heroic exploits that saved the lives of countless fellow soldiers and turned the tide of some truly grim battles.

But the book is more than just military exploits; it’s all about the man himself, the conviction and character that got him through the tribulations of the war, and brought him home to start a family, lead a happy life, and impart his skills to others.
