It takes a certain kind of soldier to become a sniper. Hands as skilled and steady as a surgeon, eyes as sharp as a hawk’s. A sniper must be able to kill another man with cold-blooded calculation. Ed Kugler was just such a soldier. Stone cold deadly with an M-14, he was tapped to become a sniper in the 4th Marine Regiment in Vietnam. From a stint with Force Recon, he would soon lead a team of five snipers who worked the rugged Co Bi-Than Tan Valley. Called the Rogues, his team would leave a trail of fear and death throughout VC and NVA territory. Dead Center tells the story of Kugler and his team, dramatically from Midwest schoolboy to Marine sniper to one of the NVA’s "Most Wanted." Loaded with first hand accounts of sniper action and evasion, this account vividly relates the grueling training and curshing tension of missions, offering the most complete picture yet of this solitary service.
