Harrison, Craig2015
Books, Manuscripts
In November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, Craig Harrison saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill - 2475 metres, the length of 25 football pitches. In this action-packed, vivid memoir, Craig takes us from a tough childhood to joining the army at 16, from serving in Bosnia through two tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. He describes the numerous campaigns he's taken part in and his special ops missions. He also reveals how injury forced him to leave the army and how, after his identity was revealed, Al Qaeda threatened him and his family.
