White Feather is the only authorized biography of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock II, who was recognized as the most successful sniper in the Vietnam War with more than 93 confirmed kills. The book White Feather is written by brothers Roy and Norm Chandler, who publish military shooting publications through Iron Brigade Publishing, a Jacksonville, North Carolina based corporation. As Marine Sniper, a best seller for nine years relayed his heroism in Vietnam, White Feather covers Carlos' entire career and the other details not found in any other title. Written in true "Chandler" format, this volume covers, from beginning to end, the story and tales of a true Marine Corps legend and last American Hero. As far as biographies go, this book will forever immortalize Hathcock, who passed away Feb. 1999.
I couldn't let the book down. Very educational and interesting to read. I would recommend this book to any History buff. Well researched and written. It was definitely worth the money i spent to buy it.
I'm thankful that the authors did such a thorough job and truly knew Hathcock before writing this book. I enjoyed that it was in their own "voice" and format. The cover art is just as well done as the book and the detailing is extraordinary. Well done book all around. As far as Carlos Hathcock - an amazing man with challenges off the battlefield that rivaled those on it. Much respect to wife, Jo Hathcock as well.
What a great story,another story I had heard as a boy. And finally got read the true side. It does get slow in spots but thats normal in a real life. The stories of being hunted hunted by the best from other countries. Because they know he's the best that has ever hunted humans...
As a US Marine, I considered this book as required reading. Having met Gunny Hatchcock and serving in multiple overseas tours I can relate to his story readily. The opening is wrenching, the background is inspiring, and this is a must read for military supporters and enthusiasts!
