Reviews for The White Sniper: Simo Häyhä
We have had a number of books and movies recently about the exploits of snipers. None of the others even come close to Simo Hayha. .. The book is what we have come to expect from Casemate. It is well made and is liberally supplied with photos, maps, and some diagrams.
