Guns Up! (44 page)

Delivering death from a distance—one Marine’s account of precision marksmanship in Vietnam.

Dead Center:
A Marine Sniper’s Two-Year Odyssey in the Vietnam War

by Ed Kugler

As a new sniper with the 4th Marines, Kugler picked up bush skills while attached to 3d Force Recon Company, and then joined the grunts. To take advantage of that experience, he formed the Rogues, a five-sniper team that hunted in the Co Bi-Than Tan Valley for VC and NVA. The result is the amazing true story of long, tense waits and sudden deadly action: the dangerous life of a Marine scout-sniper at war.
