Military Sniper Book(s) Recommendations

I've read Marine Sniper a couple times and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also read Hogs in the Shadows: Marine Snipers in Action and would highly recommend it as they are short stories throughout the book. I am currently half way through Sniper One by Dan Mills and while it's pretty good, the British lingo drives me crazy at times. I'll finish that in the next week or so and would like to read another right after as it's the 'new' reading kick I've been on. TIA

Thoughts of a Sniper, also published under
Notes of a Russian Sniper .
Zaytsev, Vasily (2003).
Vasily's book show what it is like to be a sniper in a huge battle, at one point he is mad because one sniper is killing Germans just to add to his total. This is likely not what happened at all, the sniper in question just like Vasily was caught up in a German mass attack. When this happened to Vasily he too had to shot all of them he could.
German massed for attacks even in Stalingrad, as did the Soviet troops.
Vasily fought on the east and northeast side of the Mamayev Kurgan, looking up to the Germans on the Mamayev Kurgan. The spring in the book is also the same spring written about in Ljubov Sladkova-Avetisian book, From The Fire Of Stalingrad. This spring is just down the road from where her house was, at the bottom of the Mamayev Kurgan.
Vasily is moved from northeast side of the Mamayev Kurgan to just north of the chemical factory very close to the southern side of the Red October factory, when the German attack starts. This is when he found out sometimes you do have to shot to kill everyone, as the Germans had lunched as huge operation to take the Red October factory.

No offense. Snipers are anachronistic. I spent some time in the company of them. A more amazing individual you could not meet. In a small group, you would wonder how they came to be significant. They're the only people who know how far their shots were effective. In Vietnam I was with a dude that killed a NVA soldier I'd been trying to kill and he shot him from 600 yards easily. I could not get a shot at him. Ce's't la vie. The difference between the technology then and the technology now is the same as the difference between 1930 and 1960.
