Coming Soon Send It: Canada’s Snipers at War in Afghanistan

See Through the Scope of Canadian Snipers
Send It is a raw, unfiltered account that takes readers deep into the shadowy world of the Canadian sniper—among the most revered and deadly warriors on the modern battlefield. Through the eyes and voices of a handful of elite soldiers, this book delivers an unparalleled look at what it takes to earn the coveted sniper badge, survive the crucible of combat, and walk the razor’s edge between life and death.

From brutal training grounds to the unforgiving terrain of Afghanistan, Send Itfollows these silent professionals through multiple tours of duty alongside Canadian and U.S. Special Forces. Their missions—precise, lethal, and often shrouded in secrecy—place them at the tip of the spear in the war on terror. But beyond the confirmed kills and enemy engagements lies a more personal story: the fear, adrenaline, purpose, and quiet cost of modern warfare.

Told in their own words, Send It is an emotional journey from the first trigger squeeze to the last. It is not just about the making of snipers, but how war remakes the men behind the scope.

“The role of today’s combat sniper is far from the romantic lone-wolf Rambo of popular imagination. Using the first-hand accounts of some of Canada’s top snipers, [Gord, Barry and Mir] lays out the realities. The gear, training, excruciating patience, and mental toughness typical of the profession are amply explored, then displayed in adrenaline-pumping scenes of actual combat.

Spoiler alert: It’s not all glory.

The general public as well as history and military buffs will get much from this book.”

Jim DeFelice, co-author NY Times #1 best-seller, American Sniper

“A rare look inside the secretive and little understood world of Canada's military sniper community. Within the world of Special Operations the Canadians are known to field absolutely top notch snipers, maybe the best in the world, and Send It takes the reader on their journey through training and combat, putting them right behind a .338 sniper rifle as the trigger breaks.”
