I havent read that one. However, another book that might be on the same topic (role of sniping) is Shock Factor.

Snipers in books are often poorly researched; I read a book about the siege of Sarajevo, and one of the characters was a female sniper (Fighting I suppose for Bosnia, cause the author was leftist, American, feminist, and therefore pro-consoomer empire/modern slave state, but I forget, all I remember is being forced to read this shit for school).

Anyway, this female sniper was, for the sake of coolness factor, thrust into the most unrealistic situations for a battlefield sniper. Missions that even a child could see would bring no profit to the tactical situation, and were needlessly dangerous/over-heroic.

I have never seen a book that looks more like a honeypot

You should read this if you're interested in guerilla warfare.

I downloaded and started reading it. Interesting work; found it interesting hearing how guerilla warfare is categorized as a "war crime" by nation-states. That in itself pissed me off. Machiavelli was truly right, there is no justice on earth, only power.

I suggest osprey publishing, specifically on Japan during WW2. Their tactics are the baseline for countless guerrilla organizations, especially in Asia.

it is about 50% interesting thoughts and summary of urban sniping in history and lessons learned and 50% retarded boomerism. the jfk chapter is beyond horrible and the epilogue peak boomercore. but its a decent summary and i dont know of anything like it so i'd recommend it.
