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.

Well read. One of the best books I’ve listened to. If you are easily offended avoid. It reflects what soldiering is about, killing and getting killed. It pulls no punches from success to being blown up to the inevitable mental stress to the poor way the army treat their soldiers once spent.
Thanks for having the courage to get the book written. I hope that you and your family now have a peaceful life.

Gritty and real

We are so fortunate to have people like Craig serving in our armed forces. Thanks to all (and especially Craig and his family) for this book - it starts to let us know about another world.
It is only through the telling that the sacrifices live on.
