About this listen
Through conflicts in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, this is the vivid memoir of British sniper Craig Harrison.
It takes a tough mindset to be a successful sniper, to be able to dig in for days on your own as you wait for your target, to stay calm on a battlefield when you yourself have become the target the enemy most want to take out. Craig Harrison has what it takes and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill – 2,475 metres, the length of twenty-five football pitches.
In The Longest Kill, his unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the heat of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, and gives heart stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press he also had to cope with Al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high.

A great account of a snipers role in war
An excellent book and well read. I would highly recommend. The mental aspects of war and its toll on the men on the front line are layed out to bare also.

Raw, honest and well narrated.
Craig’s story is amazing. Having heard of this through the army grapevine when he achieved the longest kill, and now hearing it from his perspective really brings it home; and the story he tells of walking that fine line between job satisfaction and grief, leading to PTSD is so honest and raw. The way he was treated by his regiment is heart breaking. This story is well narrated and worth the investment.

Hoo boy.
Now, I cry, a lot. I'm sensitive and an empath. This book ripped my soul a new one. What a story! I laughed so hard I cried, I cried so hard I couldn't breathe and I just couldn't put it down. Craig, thank you for your service. I can't imagine what you went through, but I'm grateful you're still here, able to share with others your story. Joe does a fantastic job at narrating this too, brilliant work all round.

Fantastic!
Awesome book! Definitely didn’t hold back on the often unspoken of details from deployments. Certainly an excellent and very raw recollection of combat and experiences within and outside the military. A true credit to the author
