Book Description
================
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.
