Shooter: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper is a pretty good read. Sgt. Coughlin talks about how he had to create a new style of sniper warfare in Iraq (Hathcock's jungle style tactics were not suitable for urban warfare).

I read Coughlin's book and then read Hathcock's book. The Hathcock book is a classic hands down, he is the master sniper. It's a better written book, IMO.

Hathcock has 93 confirmed kills, Coughlin has 60 confirmed. Both probably have more unconfirmed though.

I guess Hathcock is still the "Marine Sniper."

Glad to be surrounded by such men. They give our country great credit.
