When Sgt. Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess
of Wales's Royal Regiment, flew into Iraq in April 2004, they were
supposed to be winning hearts and minds. They were soon fighting
for their lives.Within hours of their arrival in Iraq, a grenade
bounced off one of the battalion's Land Rovers, rolled underneath,
and detonated. The ambush marked the beginning of a full-scale
firefight during which Mills killed a man with a round that removed
his assailant's head. It was going to be a long tour.Like some
postapocalyptic "Mad Max" nightmare, the place had gone to hell in
a handbasket. Throat-burning winds, blast bombs, and well-trained,
well-organized militias armed with AKs, RPGs, and a limitless
supply of mortar rounds were the icing on the cake.For the next six
months, isolated, besieged, and under constant fire, their
battalion refused to give an inch. "Sniper One" is a breathtaking
chronicle of endurance, camaraderie, dark humor, and courage in the
face of relentless, lethal assault.
