This title describes and illustrates the weapons and tactics of the specialist military marksman from World War I to the Gulf War. It focuses on the scout-sniper to snipers on the Russian Front; a role in which women excelled.
It was only in World War I (1914-1918) that the combination of high quality service rifles and new telescopic sights brought the true ''sniper'' to the battlefield as a distinct specialist. By 1918 the scout-sniper''s value as an observer and gatherer of intelligence was as important as his lethal skills, but these were disregarded in the interwar years. From 1939-45 most armies had to train and equip snipers from scratch, but they were to play a major role in all theatres of war. Famously, on the Russian Front it was a role in which women excelled. This title recounts the development of weapons, sights, tactics and clothing in all the major armies, from Flanders to the Gulf.
