This short story is about a very Top Secret sniper mission pulled off in 1966 Vietnam by Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock. You probably have read about that mission. The top brass said Hathcock was the only one who might pull it off though there was a good chance that he might not return from it. Supposedly taking out this one important man might change the course of the war. Before he accepted this mission Hathcock was not told in which country it was, or who the target would be. Only after he accepted did he learn some details. It required him to crawl through a large open meadow guarded by enemy patrols for three days, two nights and part of the next morning before he would be in range to take out the important target.
You may had been told about this mission with Hathcock before but this time in this short story you the reader get to actually experience the agony and the deprivations that Carlos experienced. And you will learn things you may not have read elsewhere about this incredibly difficult and extremely long mission. For instance, without a light to read his compass at night how did Carlos know where he had to go? How much food did he consume? In those almost 4 days of crawling how did he manage his bathroom? How did he sleep for two nights with enemy patrols around him? How did he handle his encounter with a poisonous viper?
How could he stand the army of ants that took up lodging in his clothes? But most important of all is how Hathcock fought to control the pain and stress and open blisters he suffered on his shoulder, hip and arm from such a prolonged abrasive slow motion crawl? And how could he have made that one shot, one kill that had to be dead-center in the small target that was not just the length of one football field away but it was the length of seven football fields away! How could he possibly make a shot like that? And finally after being cramped up, eaten up, and bruised up…how did he then so quickly avoid capture?
This exciting true adventure tale will give you these answers and more…just hang in there with Carlos Hathcock and this author will tell you how he did it. Here are Hathcock’s tips for sighting in a sportsman’s rifle as only he knew how to do it to make those incredible long range shots.

I heard about him when I went through boot camp rifle training at Camp Pendleton in 1968. Being a fair shot myself, I wanted to beat his qualifying record. Even though I shot "high" expert and received the Leatherneck Award, I still didn't match or exceed his record. He was legendary.I also recommend the book "Marine Sniper". It's about all his successful missions in Vietnam. I would have loved to have met him before he passed away. May he Rest In Peace. Semper Fi

CARLOS HATHCOCK'S LONGEST MISSION Best Snipers Series Book 1 eBook Robert F Burgess Reviews
Great story, amazing dedication and control to make a near impossible shot. Writer could have built up the suspense a bit more but the story is great.
clear and honest discription of how our troops rise to the occation even when clearly ordered to violate their legal rights.
Sgt Hathcock was a true scout sniper, heck we Army guys in the Central Highlands even heard of him. This short novel is of one of his missions, that is straight out of Hollywood. Except it is real
Great tribute to the innovator of modern sniping. While there are other stories of Gunney's exploits, this one epitomizes why he is considered the father of modern sniper shooting. Semper Fi Gunney. You r missed
I appreciated this short story about Gunney Hathcock. I have read a lot about him and enjoyed reading in a bit more detail about the shot made upon an enemy general. Thank you for the crisp story telling.
Here is the true story of a true warrior and what he will do to complete his task. It is beyond me how and why someone could do what this warrior did. Some ran to Canada, some served their country. I will recommend this to all my friends.
What an amazing man, you can train a shooter, but Carlos had the dedication and bravery to complete operation which everyone else said was suicide and yet he would volunteer for those missions. Any soldier who goes into sniper training no matter what branch of the service, learns technics taught my GySgt Carlos Hathcock.. To this day, snipers are still trying to match imposable shots he was able to complete. This is the true story of an American hero..
