It belongs on every American’s bookshelf.” —Jack Carr, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Terminal List and The Fourth Option.

A Revolutionary War history focusing on colonial riflemen and the long rifle . . .[Revolutionary Snipers] shows how these soldiers disrupted British regulars in ways that mattered on the ground . . . The book describes the terrain, weather, and specific decisions to make familiar battles such as Trenton, Saratoga, and Cowpens feel immediate.”—Library Journal (Starred Review)

“A stirring, weapon-oriented account of battles up to the 1777 victory at Saratoga in which rifles played a major role and, in O’Donnell’s judgment, ‘marked a seismic shift in the war.’”—Kirkus Reviews

“A riveting account of the American Revolution's most unconventional soldiers—ragtag, rugged, fiercely independent and sometimes hard to manage, they nonetheless played a crucial role in some of the conflict’s most important fights.”—Don N. Hagist, editor, Journal of the American Revolution.

“Revolutionary Snipers is mesmerizing history. O'Donnell gives us mastery of the details in an absorbing and elegant book. A must-read and a necessary testament to the courage and skill of these remarkable men.” —Peter Schweizer, Investigative Journalist and Bestselling Author.

Praise for Patrick K. O’Donnell and REVOLUTIONARY SNIPERS:

“Among the citizen soldiers who picked up arms and took on the greatest empire of the day were sharpshooters who would change history at the war's inflection points. As they endured the harshest of elements and marched thousands of miles, often barefoot and unpaid, to fight for and forge a nation, Washington’s finest shooters would also develop irregular tactics and wrestle with new technology that is still imbued in their modern special operations counterparts. Revolutionary Snipers is a groundbreaking new look at the war and an exploration of the grit and agency behind the men and women of the Revolutionary generation. It is a book that belongs on every American’s nightstand.” —Jack Carr, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Terminal List and The Fourth Option

“Patrick K. O’Donnell is blessed with a rare gift for storytelling and a keen empathy for the realities of soldiers in combat. He walks in the footsteps of his subjects like few other historians are able—or willing—to do.”—John C. McManus, author of The Dead and Those About to Die on Washington’s Immortals

“This is a fantastic book, a riveting look at the formative struggle of this nation, zeroing in on the heart of the combat, written with a sniper’s sharp focus on the drama, endurance and heroism of America’s first marksmen. Not to be missed!”—Alex Kershaw, bestselling author of Against All Odds

“Savage, fearless, and often impossible to control, these backwoods warriors fought from Boston to Saratoga, helping turn rebellion into nationhood. Rich in research and charged with action, this is a gripping portrait of the Revolution’s most dangerous men and the violent birth of an American way of war.”—James Lacey, Horner Chair of War Studies at Marine Corps University and author of The Washington War and Moment of Battle
