Publisher's Summary
He is the deadliest American sniper ever, called “the devil” by the enemies he hunted and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers....
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war - of twice being shot and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends.
American Sniper also honors Kyles fellow warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyles wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris.
Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account of war that only one man could tell.

Country Seals Family
For someone who has not served,
the book was a very real and descriptive account of war during service then decompression back to civilian life.
I enjoyed the book and have a high respect for people who make the sacrifice to protect our country & quality of life.

The words from the man himself.
Knowing a little about the man from the film, this book made everything more realistic. The war, the despicable things they had to deal with. Knowing the ultimate end made it heartbreaking. RIP Chris Kyle, RIP.

Couldnt think of a heading, read the review :)
Does contain typical US machoism not found usually in books by Aussie solders but still a really good book.
If you can deal with that, would recommend. Probably 4.5 stars is s more accurate rating from me.

Phenomenal legacy, just, and sacrifice.
This man truly deserves credit for what he has done, and the realist perspective on war gives the reader an understanding that I’ve personally never had. Americans are seen as war hungry, but these men are trained to kill, simple as that, they done start war, they follow orders. Your government starts war. Much respect and peace to this mans soul. Rip.
