In the foreword, USMC chief historian Charles Melson gives an insider's history of the development of Marine close-combat programs from the turn of the 20th century to today. He provides little-known details on the contributions of such well-known figures as A.J. Biddle, Fairbairn and Sykes, and John Styers as well as more obscure but equally important contributors Stephen Staver, Dermot O'Neill and "the Three Sams."

'Marine Sniper Sgt. Jack Coughlin is the Marine Corps' top-ranked sniper. Shooter is his harrowing and very human first-person account of one man's battle to remain sane and hold his family together while personally bringing America's military muscle to the enemy's front door.
Coughlin is also a divorced father of two who grew up in a wealthy Boston suburb. At the age of nineteen, although he had never even held a gun, he joined the Marines, and would spend the next 20 years behind the scope of a long-range precision rifle.
Marine Sniper Sgt. Jack Coughlin carried his specially designed bolt action rifle'and its nearly magical scope'into a landscape of sandstorms, firefights, and chaos during Operation Iraqi Freedom. As marines charged through the desert and leapfrogged through bizarre, treacherous urban battlefields, Coughlin and his sniper teammate did their job and did it well: One by one, they spotted their targets'up to a half a mile away. And one by one their targets died. Coughlin has more than 60 confirmed kills.
In this extraordinary account from battlefield Iraq, Coughlin tells the story of his own unique war, from stealthy, slowly-unfolding long range kills to unplanned firefights'and how one sniper team adapted and thrived in a battle zone unlike any they faced before'
With vivid portraits of Coughlin's fellow marines and the battles they fought from Al Kut to Baghdad center, Shooter takes readers to the frontlines of the war in Iraq and gives a brutally honest account of a man trained to hunt humans, who had the courage to do his deadly job'and live with it once the

Colonel Thomas X. Hammes, USMC The Sling & The Stone: On War In The 21st Century
MBI Publishing 0760324077 / 9780760324073 Paperback BOOK
Best selling treatise on the insurgencies in today's headlines - now in paperback. 6x9 inches, 336 pgs.
'4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) is the only kind of war America has ever lost. And we have done so three times - in Vietnam, Lebanon, and Somalia. This form of warfare has also defeated the French in Vietnam and Algeria, and the USSR in Afghanistan... As the only Goliath left in the world, we should be worried that the world's Davids have found a sling and stone that work. -- Chapter 1, The Sling and the Stone: On War in the 21st Century
The War in Iraq. The War on Terror. These types of 'asymmetrical' warfare are the conflicts of the 21st century -- and show how difficult it is for the world's remaining superpower to battle insurgents and terrorists who will fight unconventionally in the face of superior military power. This change in military conflict may seem sudden.
In The Sling & the Stone Hammes details how 4GW has evolved over decades, with powerful military forces from economically advanced nations being defeated by seemingly weaker opponents.
