Sure to appeal to all those interested in military sniping, this study assesses the use of three iconic sniping weapons over five decades.
Steve Houghton, a former soldier in The Royal Green Jackets, has
been an avid collector of British sniping weapons and all
associated equipment for the last twenty years. He is the author of
The British Sniper, A Century of Evolution. This is Steve's first
book for Osprey.
Johnny Shumate began his career in 1987 after graduating from
Austin Peay State University, and now works as a freelance
illustrator. Most of his work is rendered in Adobe Photoshop using
a Cintiq monitor. His greatest influences are Angus McBride, Don
Troiani and Édouard Detaille.
Born in Malaya in 1949, Alan Gilliland spent 18 years as the
graphics editor of the Daily Telegraph, winning 19 awards in that
time. He now writes, illustrates and publishes fiction
(www.ravensquill.com), as well as illustrating for a variety of
publishers (alangillilandillustration.blogspot.com).
This book is an excellent production of Britain’s three sniper
weapons, explaining in layman’s terms how the development and
production of each was achieved without going into lengthy
description or introducing wordy scientific prose which would
confuse the reader.
