| A sniper was usually good - or dead. There were no half measures, for |
| the first mistake was usually his last. Tim Smith and Willi Schmidt |
| were just learning their deadly trade on different sides, their |
| classroom the battlefields of Normandy. |
| |
| When their paths crossed the certainty grew that one of them must die |
| - unless fate stepped in and lent a helping hand. |
| |
| Introduction |
| When I read this book I was initially struck by its authenticity - |
| not just in terms of plot or setting but more so the specifics in the |
| minutiae of what it must have really been like for a sniper during |
| wartime. Imagine; the drills; discipline; isolation and sheer |
| ruthlessness required, and what meeting these demands might do to a |
| person psychologically. |
| |
| Then the Ed casually mentioned that author Alan Hemus had been a |
| sniper himself! |
| |
| That gave a fresh meaning to the old adage, "Write what you know |
| aboutà" |
| |
| However, budding Commando writers take note: previous military service |
| is not compulsory. |
