Silent Warrior is a non-fiction book about the marine sniper Staff Sergeant Carlos Hathcock. It focuses on his kills and how he made them, and the intense moment he has had. He was, and still is, the worlds most decorated sniper and has the most confirmed kills in history. He was very successful in Vietnam where he served and one of the highlights of the book and his career was when he pinned down a entire platoon of soldiers from a cliff. He was very good at what he did and this book shows it, it goes through how he felt about events and how he did what he did.

No movie was made about this book.

I would recommend this book to everyone who loves books about actual people in wars. It is very interesting and a real eye-opener to me, and I'm sure to others who have read it, about what Vietnam was like for soldiers and for him especially. It makes you appreciate the efforts made by soldiers in the Vietnam war and anyone who you know that was in it. It was a very descriptive book about the guns, setting, the climate, and the kills he made. It didn't have very many weaknesses besides the fact on how descriptive it was on some things. But if I could change something about it I wouldn't change a thing. I would recommend this to anyone interesting in history and snipers and what they were like, so teenagers like me.
