Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Both a uniquely intimate look at what makes a sniper tick and a harrowing read filled with dramatic war tales, Trigger Men is a book about killing and what it takes to be the ultimate warrior.



Halberstadt takes readers deeper inside the elusive world of snipers than ever before, from recruitment and training to the brutality of the killing fields. Mixed into the thrilling narrative, for the first time ever in their own words, American combat snipers talk about what it is like to kill a man and what it takes to become one of the elite. Based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews, Halberstadt gets inside the sniper mind and shows how Shadow Team confidence led to success that led to even more aggressive operations. Readers will learn how snipers think and interact as a team, how missions are planned and executed, how the weapons work, and even what happens when a bullet strikes its target.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great behind the gun view of a vital military job.
This book was a wonderful look that most people don't see or think about of a very important function in our military. Never have so few people made such a large contribution to the battlefield environment. No other position offers such a enormous potential for one or two men to cause so much disruption in the enemy forces than the job of a sniper. It surly takes a special kind of person to take on a job like this. Of the many books that I have read about snipers, Trigger Men by Hans Halberstadt ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Terribly organized and written book
I bought this book because I am fascinated by sniping and I wanted to see how the job had changed in Iraq. I didn't know I was buying the worst-edited book on earth.

The narrative lacks basic organization. Paragraphs take off in tangents and leave you wondering what the point is. The author repeats the same point over and over, sometimes three times on one page. Then, there is the annoying whinge about how snipers are underappreciated, underused and misused.

There are nuggets ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Trigger Men
Trigger Men gives a chilling true life account of what its like to be a Sniper in todays military. Prior to reading this book i had no real idea of what goes on in the mind of a man who's job it is to plan and execute a human target in times of war....... these facts hit home all the more since i personally know one of the men interviewed for this book. He has always been a hero to me but knowing what i know now after reading his own account in this book words cant express how much respect i have for him ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - America's best and least-known secret weapon revealed!
An excellent read on an apparently sparsely covered subject. This should be required reading for all military commanders, from the Commander-in-Chief on down to the platoon level, so that our military effectiveness really achieves what it is meant to do - take the battle to the enemy and take them out. Ineffective use of snipers backfires on the very people they are meant to protect and support. Halberstadt has written probably one of the most important books on military power ever written - this one - and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only thing you feel is the recoil !!!
Excellent book on what it was like to be a sniper in early Gulf War 2 and what our people in country are dealing with. Covers a lot of aspects of sniping never before seen or read about (and I have read quite a few books on the issue), and the mentality involved with them. Five stars - you will learn a lot.
