{"product_id":"the-military-sniper-since-1914-martin-pegler-9781841761411","title":"The Military Sniper Since 1914 the Military Sniper Since 1914","description":"It was only in World War I (1914-1918) that the combination of high quality service rifles and new telescopic sights brought the true 'sniper' to the battlefield as a distinct specialist. By 1918 the scout-sniper's value as an observer and gatherer of intelligence was as important as his lethal skills, but these were disregarded in the interwar years. From 1939-45 most armies had to train and equip snipers from scratch, but they were to play a major role in all theatres of war. Famously, on the Russian Front it was a role in which women excelled. This title recounts the development of weapons, sights, tactics and clothing in all the major armies, from Flanders to the Gulf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Pegler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841761419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841761411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.27w x 0.27d","brand":"Martin Pegler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545746297087,"sku":"9781841761411","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_193b2a05-5041-486c-8fd9-74af943d19c4.jpg?v=1738183222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-military-sniper-since-1914-martin-pegler-9781841761411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
