The Sniper | Interview with Author Jim Lindsay

Robert Child sits down with author, Jim Lindsay. Lindsay's The Sniper reveals, for the first time ever, the full story of the deadliest sniper in Marine Corps history, Chuck Mawhinney, who served in the Vietnam war at age 18―written with his full cooperation and participation.


Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney was a United States Marine who holds the Corps' record for the most confirmed sniper k*lls (and the second most of any US service member in history), having recorded 103 confirmed kills in 16 months during the Vietnam War. He was also the youngest―k*lling the enemy as a teenager.


In 1967, at the age of 18, Mawhinney joined the Marines and began his assent from recruit to the Marine Corps’ deadliest sniper. During his tours―in one of the most dangerous war zones of Vietnam―his character and charisma helped him deal with life and death in a hell hole with other young men a long way from home.
