About the Book

It takes a tough mind-set to be a successful sniper. Craig Harrison has what it takes, and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill: 2,475 meters. In this unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the hear of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan and gives heart-stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand Province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and was left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press, he also had to cope with al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high. Powerful and compelling, "The Longest Kill" is a must-read. -- From publisher's description.
