Could someone please suggest a good book about military snipers?

Preferably a Marine book, but, any sniper book will do. Thanks.

Marine Sniper by James Henderson and Dear Mom: A Snipers Vietnam are both really good and both are about Marine Snipers.

Downrange, Inside the Crosshairs, Inside Delta Force, No Heroes, and Silent Hunter also have an emphasis on sniping.

13 cent killers is also a very good book.

The Navy Seals Sniper course manual is available online in PDF... better than any novel.

That reminds me, my friends brother was in town and he used to be a seal and now teaches at the school.

he said "Its the greatest fightin words ever, "Im not a navy seal, I TRAIN navy seals"

Back on topic, I seriously recommend staying away from most fiction. Don't buy anything of Stephen Hunter's. Any book that talks about taking a WWII-era SMG, designing a night vision sight for it, and honing it to accuracy at 700 meters is written by a crazy person.
