Publisher Description
They have one mission? and they accomplish it with one bullet.
In Operation Iraqi Freedom, there is a special breed of hunter for whom the prey is the enemy?and every day is hunting season. This soldier is a HOG?a Hunter of Gunman. These stories give firsthand accounts of just how dangerous Iraq can be, the experience of these young men, and the consequences involved with being on a Marine Scout/Sniper team?an elite group that few can make, and possessing the precision that no others can master.
From sniping on a rooftop in Baghdad to unknowingly being surrounded in a palm grove in the city of Hit, these stories will transport the reader right into the heat of the desert war, where one shot can make all the difference.

Hogs in the Shadows
This book flew by and you really felt the "pucker" factor!
It’s entertaining
Written more like a high school kid, the stories show the heroics but was written like they were dictated at a bar over beer, key action is missing on things are resolved after 1 paragraph. Never any hardship just all victories ally the time
Fact beats fiction
The truth about war is never pretty. The courage & willingness of those who choose to go in harms way places them in the company of a select handful of men who fully understand the value of life. Thank God for such men.
