The action-packed, vivid memoir of British sniper Craig Harrison
Craig Harrison joined the Household Cavalry at 16, later moving to the Blues and Royals where he trained to be a sniper. He has served in Bosnia, two tours of Iraq and two tours of Afghanistan. He holds the world record for the longest recorded sniper kill, and was mentioned in dispatches for his bravery.
For any sniper, being able to place a projectile on a target at
distance in combat can be a challenging task. There are a ton of
factors that need to be taken into account for long distance
shooting in order to achieve impact. For fellow sniper Craig
Harrison, he truly went above and beyond and took the sniper's
craft to a whole new high: placing a round on his targets at a
distance exceeding a mile and a half (2475 m) while operating in
the Helmand Provence, Afghanistan--a place I know all too well. It
was an amazing shot that any sniper would be proud of and The
Longest Kill is an amazing account of his impressive career.
Congrats to Craig Harrison!
