Is "The Sniper" a Classic???

I don't think that this book is a classic. I doesn't have an artistic quality. It actually really is the exact opposite. It is pretty violent and dark. It could have stood the test of time, but I couldn't find any good research. I don't think it has because of some of the technology they used. Like the tank and the sniper rifle. It is debatable if it touches on our human experience. The only one I could find is any Civil War, because you can have two different beliefs. Again with the research I did I couldn't find any allusions. It does have some to friendly fire, but not to any works of literature. That has been why I don't believe that it is a classic.
