You may have read about legendary Marine snipers Hathcock and Burke before. But in this over 9,000-word short story based on actual events, Burgess puts you right beside them watching the very things that made them legends. Unlike other biographers, he adds answers to details that many never knew at the time. If you fought in Nam you may have wondered at these too. For instance how did the enemy move so easily through the jungle in total darkness? How did they avoid booby traps set by their own people? How did they disappear so quickly? If your buddy was killed in a firefight, why was his body never found?

As you go along with Marine Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock and Lance Corporal John R. Burke on these legendary missions watch how they unravel various clues in their search for a sniper. After that, you too will know the answers to these long ago mysteries.

This is high-tension vintage action from an author who doesn’t mince words and doesn’t overlook details of these actual events. After reading this, you will have shared a small bit of their Nam action…in the comfort and safety of your easy chair. But now, perhaps, you will know a bit more about what our veterans went through during this very difficult and unpopular war. Hopefully, you will also appreciate why these veterans deserve every ounce of respect for the terrible sacrifices they made for us. Especially those who like 23-year-old Lance Corporal John R. Burke from Clearwater, Florida gave everything they had to give.

For this read you better wear your flak jacket just in case.
