About this product

Product Information

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DEATH BUSINESS, EACH DAWN COULD BE YOUR LAST. Raw, straightforward, and powerful, Ed Kugler's account of his two years as a Marine scout-sniper in Vietnam vividly captures his experiences there--the good, the bad, and the ugly. After enlisting in the Marines at seventeen, then being wounded in Santo Domingo during the Dominican crisis, Kugler arrived in Vietnam in early 1966. As a new sniper with the 4th Marines, Kugler picked up bush skills while attached to 3d Force Recon Company, and then joined the grunts. To take advantage of that experience, he formed the Rogues, a five-sniper team that hunted in the Co Bi-Than Tan Valley for VC and NVA. His descriptions of long, tense waits, sudden deadly action, and NVA countersniper ambushes are fascinating. In DEAD CENTER, Kugler demonstrates the importance to a sniper of patience, marksmanship, bush skills, and guts--while underscoring exactly what a country demands of its youth when it sends them to war.

  • Viet Nam War Brought To Life

    Great story. "Kug" was one of the thousands of ordinary guys thrust in a very extraordinary situation in SE Asia. If you are a gun guy and fan of the USMC like me you will love the read. I was too young to go to Viet Nam (just barely)- the war was so misrepresented here at home - a hard time made harder - my hat is off to all who served.

  • Dead Center

    Very intense reading. A very detailed recollection of what it was like to be a sniper in Vietnam. Some redundancies, but overall very good.

  • good read

    If you weren't there it gives a good representation. If you were it brings you back!
