Description
The British Sniper A Century of Evolution by Steve Houghton is a comprehensive history of the British Army's involvement in sniping from 1915 to the present. This detailed reference explores the evolution of the role, from the early days of concealed assassins to the present day, and features every British service-issued sniper rifle in chronological order. The book provides a detailed explanation of the equipment used in conjunction with each rifle, including telescopes, transit cases, tools, training literature, spotting scopes, and camouflage clothing. With the help of 780 photographs, mostly in colour, the weapons and equipment are brought to life, giving readers a unique insight into the history of sniping. This title is now proudly held in some of the UK's most exclusive libraries, including the British Army Historical Archive and the Shrivenham Small Arms Defence Academy.
