Drawing from memoirs, government documents and interviews, \u003ci\u003eWorld War II Snipers\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates eyewitness accounts to weave a comprehensive narrative of snipers in World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile certain common traits were shared among belligerents, each had its unique methodology for selecting and training snipers and, as casualties were high, their replacements. Drawn from hunters, competitive shooters, natural marksmen, outdoorsmen, city dwellers, farmers and veteran soldiers, they fought to assert local battlefield dominance and instill among their enemy a paralyzing fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes admired and other times reviled by their own comrades because of the retaliation they drew, they were always too few in number. Their battlefield role, their victories and their defeats are retold here from neglected or forgotten sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scope of \u003ci\u003eWorld War II Snipers\u003c\/i\u003e is extensive with three chapters each on the major theaters of the war including Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Pacific.
