Why read it?
1 author picked Dead Center as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the first person narrative of Kulger’s two years as a scout sniper with the 4th Marine Regiment. Relates what it is like to look through the scope, pull the trigger, and watch your target die. Kulger’s experiences mirror that of most Marine snipers in the war. This is the reality of being a scout sniper, not the fiction that is often written about the elite Marine shooters.
From Michael's list on snipers in the Vietnam War.
