World War II (David L. Robbins)

A duel between two World War II snipers during the Battle of Stalingrad. The Russian is Vasily Zaitsev, a Siberian peasant who runs the Red Army's sniper school. He does such a good job, the Germans dispatch master sniper SS Colonel Heinz Thorvald.

Presents a tale of war, love, and survival set against the backdrop of the U.S. 11th Airborne's raid on the Japanese-run Los Baños prison in the Philippines--one of the most daring episodes of World War II.
