The war in Afghanistan has consumed vast amounts of blood and treasure, causing the Western powers to seek an exit without achieving victory. Seemingly never-ending, the conflict has become synonymous with a number of issues-global jihad, rampant tribalism, and the narcotics trade - but even though they are cited as the causes of the conflict, they are in fact symptoms.

From Afghanistan's Hindu Kush peaks and sunbaked Helmand Valley to Baghdad, Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq, American snipers have braved heart-pounding situations to hit their human targets dead-on.

Sniper presents real-life tales from the military's frontline snipers---their hits and their misses, the anguish of loss, and the anxiety of the first kill.

Assigned as NATO Chief of Strategic Basing at ISAF Headquarters, Spargur found himself at the operational nerve center of America's longest war, working under a four-star general and liaising with CIA operatives tracking high-value targets across the country.

War. People love the clean version of war. Simple motivations, clear victories, and neat endings, but that version is a mirage. Born and raised in Iowa, Jeff Harstad enlisted in the U.S. Army on September 12, 2001, one day after the attacks that changed everything. Fort Benning’s demanding Infantry School taught him the basics. Then the real world taught him the rest.

Les archives de la conquête spatiale contredisent pourtant cette fable. Loin du rêve humaniste, ses objectifs sont avant tout militaires, dès les premières expérimentations des ingénieurs nazis bientôt reconvertis dans l'aérospatiale aux États-Unis pour mener de front la course à la Lune, aux satellites et aux missiles.
