"Chris Kyle tells his story with the same-courage and grit he displayed in life and on the battlefield. American Sniper is a compelling read." -CLINT EASTWOOD NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him The Legend": meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war-including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time. Includes new material by Taya Kyle about the making of the American Sniper film. "In the elite community of Navy SEAL warriors, one man has risen above our ranks and distinguished himself as unique. Chris Kyle is that man. A master sniper, Chris has done and seen things that will be talked about for generations to come." -MARCUS LUTTRELL, author or Lone Survivor "An amazingly detailed account of fighting in Iraq-a humanizing, brave story that's extremely readable. It will qive you a much stronger appreciation of our troops, more awe for Navy SEALs, and also insight into how wars are really fought today." -PATRICIA CORNWELL, New York Times Book Review SEAL Team 3 Chief CHRIS KYLE (1974-2013) was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, and numerous other citations.
