Prasie for A Sniper's Journey "A must-read for all who desire to know what it was like to get caught up in one of Vietnam's 'black budget' wars within a war. Gary Mitchell's account is riveting and revealing. And his living with the aftermath is heroic. Simply put, often those who know about these 'wars within wars' don't tell. Gary is telling. America would be wise to listen."--Brig. Gen Ezell Ware, Jr. (CA, Ret.), author of By Duty Bound "Mitchell's conscience preyed on him...and he describes its working with incredible vividness."-- Booklist "Compelling [and] absolutely riveting."-- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
In 1968, Gary Mitchell enlisted in the army and was sent to Vietnam, where he caught the eye of his superiors, who found that he excelled at long-distance shooting - a discovery that set him on the path to a new identity as a sniper., Not just the story of a man at war, "A Sniper's Journey" is also about the war within the man, because Gary Mitchell's memories of his sniper missions in Vietnam followed him home, through his 24-year Army career, and into civilian life., A Vietnam sniper tells his story and reveals the battles he fought even after the war was over... In 1968, Gary Mitchell enlisted in the Army and was sent to Vietnam, where he earned a reputation for keeping his head in extreme situations. This caught the eye of his superiors, who trained him in long-distance shooting, setting him on the path to becoming a sniper. Over a twenty-four-year career, Mitchell had twenty-four confirmed kills, most of these in Vietnam, where intelligence agents "borrowed" him from his Army unit. This is not just the story of a man at war; it's also about the war within the man, because the memories of his sniper missions followed him home, throughout his career and into civilian life. And as the years went by, the full realization of what he'd done in the line of duty came back to haunt Mitchell's scarred conscience. With the love and support of his wife, Ellen, he struggled to understand what had happened to him, and what his actions revealed about him. And though the immediate horror of Vietnam was long past, he found himself facing a different kind battle-one that nearly destroyed him., A Vietnam sniper tells his story and reveals the battles he fought even after the war was over...
