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.

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.
